$imagick = new Imagick();
  
// Create a image on imagick object
$imagick->newImage(800, 250, '#1a65f0');
  
// Create a new ImagickDraw object
$draw = new ImagickDraw();
  
$draw->setFillColor('#2fceeb');
  
// Set the stroke color
$draw->setStrokeColor('black');
  
// Set the stroke width
$draw->setStrokeWidth(15);
  
// Create a path
$draw->pathStart();
$draw->pathMoveToAbsolute(50, 50);
$draw->pathLineToAbsolute(100, 50);
$draw->pathLineToRelative(0, 50);
$draw->pathLineToHorizontalRelative(-50);
$draw->pathFinish();
  
// Create another path
$draw->pathStart();
$draw->pathMoveToAbsolute(50, 50);
$draw->pathMoveToRelative(300, 0);
$draw->pathLineToRelative(50, 0);
$draw->pathLineToVerticalRelative(50);
$draw->pathLineToHorizontalAbsolute(350);
$draw->pathclose();
$draw->pathFinish();
  
// Render the draw commands

$draw->pathLineToAbsolute(100, 150);
$draw->pathLineToRelative(0, 50);
$draw->pathLineToHorizontalRelative(-50);
$draw->pathFinish();
  
$x = 0;
for ($x; $x < 10; $x++) {
  
    // Create another path
    $draw->pathStart();
    $draw->pathMoveToAbsolute(50, 150);
    $draw->pathMoveToRelative($x * 100, 0);
    $draw->pathLineToRelative(50, 0);
    $draw->pathLineToVerticalRelative(50);
    $draw->pathLineToHorizontalAbsolute(350);
    $draw->pathclose();
    $draw->pathFinish();
}
  
// Render the draw commands
$imagick->drawImage($draw);
  
// Show the output
$imagick->setImageFormat('png');
header("Content-Type: image/png");
