Graphic that blends with any background

[Kader]

Hi all

I have a couple of questions:
1) Does gd 2 support SVG graphics?
2) A snippet of php code that will allow me to generate a transparent graphic that will blend with any background behind it. Something similar to:


header("Content-type: image/png");
....
....
$height = 20;
$width= 100;
$image = ImageCreate($width, $height);
$background = ImageColorAllocate($image,236,237,243);
$black = ImageColorAllocate($image,0,0,0);
$font = 'arial.ttf';
ImageTTFText($image, 12, 0, 0, 15, $black, $font, $string);
ImagePNG($image);
ImageDestroy($image);

But allows a transparent background


Thanx for the support

As far as I know, GD2 doesn't support generation of SVG images, unless you manage to find and install a GD2 plugin for SVG.

Very easy actually. I have resolved this by using the function:
$background = ImageColorAllocateAlpha($image,255,255,255,127);

Have a look at the code below in an earlier post to get the full picture.

instead of $background = ImageColorAllocate($image,255,255,256);

The last argument 127 means 100% transparency. It's the max value that it can take.

Hope that will be of some use to some of you.
