This is a niffty function that you can use to make transparent ellipse/round type cutouts of any PNG or GIF image. The hard part is finding what color to use for the cutout layer and then the transparent layer, because you don't want to set the transparent index to a color being used in the image. After that it's as simple as layering the two images together.
what you need for the example...
a image of the size you want the cutout to be, gif or png (true color /256) can be used!
<?
$original_image = './image.png';
$output_image = './new.png';
$temp_image = './temp'; // path and name (don't include the extension)
$is_true_color = true;
$ext = substr ( $original_image, strrpos ( $original_image, '.' ) );
$temp_image .= $ext;
$new = image_get ( $ext, $original_image );
$width = imagesx ( $new );
$height = imagesy ( $new );
// we need to create temp reduced image so we can get the colors
// in a high bit true color image (png 16,24 bit only)
if ( $is_true_color )
{
imagetruecolortopalette ( $new, false, 256 );
image_make ( $new, $ext, $temp_image );
imagedestroy ( $new );
$colors = get_rgb ( $temp_image, $ext );
@unlink ( $temp_image );
$new = image_get ( $ext, $original_image );
}
else
{
$colors = get_rgb ( $original_image, $ext );
}
// this creates the cutout layer (2 colors, both will become transparent)
$old = imagecreate ( $width, $height );
imageantialias( $old, true );
imagecolorallocate ( $old, $colors[0]['red'], $colors[0]['green'], $colors[0]['blue'] );
$bg = imagecolorallocate ( $old, $colors[1]['red'], $colors[1]['green'], $colors[1]['blue'] );
imagefilledellipse ( $old, floor ( $width / 2 ), floor ( $height / 2 ), $width, $height, $bg );

imagecopy ( $new, $old, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height );
image_make ( $new, $ext, $output_image );

You can try a demo here (SGML) capture a web page, then make multi cutouts example!

imagefilledellipseDescriptionbool imagefilledellipse ( resource image, int cx, int cy, int w, int h, int color )imagefilledellipse() draws an ellipse centered at cx, cy (top left is 0, 0) in the image represented by image. W and h specifies the ellipse's width and height respectively. The ellipse is filled using color. Возвращает TRUE в случае успешного завершения или FALSE в случае возникновения ошибки.

Here is a simple script using imagefilledellipse to created rounded corners on the fly. It takes color, bg_color, width, height, and placement (i.e. top left, bottom right) as arguments.

Here is a piece of code using imagefilledellipse which creates a simulation of the current phase of the moon...

I needed to draw translucent circles on an existing image, using imagealphablending($image,true);. Turns out that imagefilledellipse seems to do the ellipse by drawing a series of lines from the centroid out to the circumference. Problem with this is that pixels near the center very visibly get drawn multiple times, producing a kind of moire effect. Also, the 0-degree (center to right) line is drawn twice and so is twice as dark the pixel below it.

Sometimes, you have x1, y1, x2, y2 parameters, but not the center, width, and height. Use this to draw a filled ellipse from your x1, y1, x2, and y2:

This draws a rotated ellipse. If you don't want filled ellipses, then you don't need the triangle function.
