It's a php library to manipulate images to web.
- Written in PHP 5.3
- Use GD2 or Imagick libraries (and can be extended with more)
- Has an optional client-side javascript to generate responsive images
- Very simple and easy to use. There is not a lot of features, just only the basics: crop, resize, resizeCrop, etc.
- Use the PSR-0 autoloader standard
The API in 1.x version changes a little bit (not much, only on create the instances).
Use the static function Imagecow\Image::create() to load an image and returns an imageCow instance. This function has two arguments:
- image: The image file path or a binary string with the image data
- library: The library used (Gd or Imagick). If it's not provided, it's detected automatically (in order of preference: Imagick, Gd)
use Imagecow\Image;
//Create an Imagick instance of "my-image.jpg" file:
$image = Image::create('my-image.jpg', 'Imagick');
//Create an instance detecting the library automatically
$image = Image::create('my-image.jpg');
//Create an instance from a binary file
$data = file_get_contents('my-image.jpg');
$image = Image::create($data);
//Arguments: ($width, $height, $x = 'center', $y = 'middle');
$image->crop(200, 300); //Crops the image to 200x300px
$image->crop(200, 300, 'left', 'top'); //Crops the image to 200x300px starting from left-top
$image->crop(200, 300, 20, '50%'); //Crops the image to 200x300px starting from 20px (x) / 50% (y)
$image->crop('50%', '50%'); //Crops the image to half size
//Arguments: ($width, $height = 0, $enlarge = false)
$image->resize(200, 300); //Resizes the image to max size 200x300px (keeps the aspect ratio. If the image is lower, don't resize it)
$image->resize(800, 600, 1); //Resizes the image to max size 800x600px (keeps the aspect ratio. If the image is lower enlarge it)
$image->resize(800); //Resizes the image to 800px width and calculates the height maintaining the proportion.
//Arguments: ($width, $height, $x = 'center', $y = 'middle')
$image->resizeCrop(200, 300); //Resizes and crops the image to this size.
$image->rotate(90); //Rotates the image 90 degrees
$image->autoRotate(); //Rotates the image according its EXIF data.
$image->format('png');
$image->save('my-new-image.png');
//Overwrite the image (only if has been loaded from a file)
$image->save();
This is useful to get images transformed dinamically using get variables: image.php?transform=resize,200,300|format,png
$image->transform('resize,200,300|format,png');
$image->show();
$image->getWidth();
$image->getHeight();
$image->getMimeType();
$image->getString(); //Returns the image in a string
$image->setBackground(array(255, 255, 255)); //Set a default background used in some transformations (for example, convert a transparent png to jpg)
$image->getExifData();
$image->setCompressionQuality(80); //Define the image compression quality for jpg images
Include the Imagecow.js library in the html page and execute the function Imagecow.init();
<script src="Imagecow.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Imagecow.init();
</script>
This function saves a cookie with the client information (width, height, connection speed). You can configurate the cookie. The default values are:
Imagecow.cookie_seconds = 3600*24;
Imagecow.cookie_name = 'Imagecow_detection';
Imagecow.cookie_path = '/';
In the server-side, use the cookie to generate the responsive operations:
use Imagecow\Image;
$operations = Image::getResponsiveOperations($_COOKIE['Imagecow_detection'], $_GET['transform']);
$image = Image::create();
$image->load($_GET['img'])->transform($operations)->show();
Now you can transform the image according with the client dimmensions. The available options are:
- max-width
- min-width
- max-height
- min-height
- width
- height
You can use the same syntax than transform, but separate the "media-query" with ";".
img.php?img=my_picture.png&transform=resizeCrop,800,600;max-width=400:resize,400
Get me the image "my_picture.png" with resizeCrop to 800x600. If the max-width of the client side is 400, resize to 400.
IconExtractor. Class to extract the images from an .ico file and convert to png. Only for Imagick:
use Imagecow\Utils\IconExtractor;
$icon = new IconExtractor('favicon.ico');
//Gets the better image from the icon (quality = color_depth + (width * height))
$image = $icon->getBetterQuality();
//Do imagecow stuff
$image->resize(100)->save('my-image.png');
