PHP | imagecopymergegray() Function

The imagecopymergegray() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to copy and merge the part of an image with a gray scale. This function copies the part of the source image into the destination image. This function returns true on success or false on failure.

Syntax:

bool imagecopymergegray ( $dst_image, $src_image, $dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, 
$src_w, $src_h, $pct )

parameters: This function accepts nine parameters as mentioned above and described below:

  • $dst_image: This parameter is used to set destination image link resource.
  • $src_image: This parameter is used to set source image link resource.
  • $dst_x: This parameter is used to set x-coordinate of destination point.
  • $dst_y: This parameter is used to set y-coordinate of destination point.
  • $src_x: This parameter is used to set x-coordinate of source point.
  • $src_y: This parameter is used to set x-coordinate of source point.
  • $src_w: This parameter is used to set source width.
  • $src_h: This parameter is used to set source height.
  • $pct: This parameter is used to change the grey scale according to $pct. The range of $pct is 0 to 100 where 0 is fully grey scale and 100 is unchanged. If $pct = 0, then no action is taken and when $pct = 100 then this function behaves similar to imagecopy() function for pallete images, except ignoring the alpha components. It implements alpha transparency for true color images.

Return Value: This function returns true on success or false on failure.
