Imagick::exportImagePixels — Exports raw image pixels

Description

public Imagick::exportImagePixels ( int $x , int $y , int $width , int $height , string $map , int $STORAGE ) : array

Exports image pixels into an array. The map defines the ordering of the exported pixels. The size of the returned array is width * height * strlen(map). This method is available if Imagick has been compiled against ImageMagick version 6.4.7 or newer.

Parameters

x: X-coordinate of the exported area
y: Y-coordinate of the exported area
width: Width of the exported aread
height: Height of the exported area
map: Ordering of the exported pixels. For example "RGB". Valid characters for the map are R, G, B, A, O, C, Y, M, K, I and P.
STORAGE: Refer to this list of pixel type constants

Examples

Example #1 Using Imagick::exportImagePixels()

Export image pixels into an array

<?php

/* Create new object */
$im = new Imagick();

/* Create new image */
$im->newPseudoImage(0, 0, "magick:rose");

/* Export the image pixels */
$pixels = $im->exportImagePixels(10, 10, 2, 2, "RGB", Imagick::PIXEL_CHAR);

/* Output */
var_dump($pixels);
?>

The above example will output:

array(12) {
