Below given programs illustrate the ImagickPixel::setColorValueQuantum() function in PHP:

Program 1:

// Create a new imagickPixel object
$imagickPixel = new ImagickPixel();
  
// Set the color value
$imagickPixel->setColorValueQuantum(imagick::COLOR_BLUE, 4500);
  
// Get the Color value with imagick::COLOR_BLUE
$colorValue = $imagickPixel->getColorValueQuantum(imagick::COLOR_BLUE);
echo $colorValue;
?>


Output:

4500

Program 2:




<?php
// Create a new imagick object
$imagick = new Imagick(
  
// Get the pixel iterator to iterate through each pixel
$imageIterator = $imagick->getPixelIterator();
$x = 200;
  
// Loop through pixel rows
foreach ($imageIterator as $row => $pixels) {
    // Loop through the pixels in the row
    if ($row % 2) {
        foreach ($pixels as $column => $pixel) {
            if ($column % 1000) {
