PHP | Imagick setImageIterations() Function

The Imagick::setImageIterations() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to set the image iterations. The iteration here actually means for how many times the frames should repeat themselves.

Syntax:

bool Imagick::setImageIterations( int $iterations )

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter $iterations which holds the number of iterations. Set to 0 to make it loop forever.

Return Value: This function returns TRUE on success.

Exceptions: This function throws ImagickException on error.

Below programs illustrate the Imagick::setImageIterations() function in PHP:

Program 1:




<?php
  
// Create a new imagick object
$imagickAnimation = new Imagick(
  
foreach ($imagickAnimation as $frame) {
  
    // Add delay of 3 seconds
    $frame->setImageDelay(300);
}
  
// Set the interations
$imagickAnimation = $imagickAnimation->coalesceImages();
$imagickAnimation->setImageIterations(1);
  
// Display the image
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
echo $imagickAnimation->getImagesBlob();
?>


Output:

Program 2:




<?php
  
// Create a new imagick object
$imagickAnimation = new Imagick(
  
// Set the interations to 0 (infinite loop)
$imagickAnimation = $imagickAnimation->coalesceImages();
$imagickAnimation->setImageIterations(0);
  
// Display the image
header("Content-Type: image/gif");
echo $imagickAnimation->getImagesBlob();
