<?php   // Create a new Imagick object $imagick = new Imagick(   // Create a montage $result = $imagick->montageImage(new ImagickDraw(), '4x2',         '150x100+2+2', imagick::MONTAGEMODE_UNFRAME, "2x2+3+3");   // Display the image $result->setImageFormat('png'); header("Content-Type: image/png");   echo $result->getImageBlob(); ?> |
Output:
Program 2:
<?php   // Create a new Imagick object $imagick = new Imagick();   // Create a new Image with label $imagick->newimage(1000, 800, 'green'); $imagick->labelImage('green');   // Add a new Image with label $imagick->addImage(new imagick(   $imagick->labelImage('Image1');   // Add a new Image with label $imagick->addImage(new imagick(   $imagick->labelImage('Image2');   // Create a new Image with label $imagick->newimage(1000, 800, 'blue'); $imagick->labelImage('blue');   // Create a new Image with label $imagick->newimage(1000, 800, 'violet'); $imagick->labelImage('violet');   // Create a new Image with label $imagick->newimage(1000, 800, 'cyan'); $imagick->labelImage('cyan');   // Create a montage $result = $imagick->montageImage(new ImagickDraw(), "3x2+0+0",      "200x160+3+3>", Imagick::MONTAGEMODE_CONCATENATE, "10x10+2+2");   // Display the image $result->setImageFormat('png'); header("Content-Type: image/png");   echo $result->getImageBlob(); ?> |
