Okay, so sometimes it's really IMPORTANT to get the exact color you want, only it's not *IN* the Image, and ImageColorResolve just isn't "close enough".
The following code is a disgustingly gross hack, rather slow, but it does that.
$colorcount = array();
for ($x = 0; $x < $width; $x++){
for ($y = 0; $y < $height; $y++){
$colorindex = imagecolorat($jpg, $x, $y);
if (!isset($colorcount[$colorindex])){
$colorcount[$colorindex] = 1;
}
else{
$colorcount[$colorindex]++;
}
}
}
asort($colorcount);
reset($colorcount);
$black = imagecolorexact($jpg, 0, 0, 0);
if ($black == -1){
$goner = key($colorcount);
$rgb = imagecolorsforindex($jpg, $goner);
#error_log("Need black: About to kill $goner ($rgb[red], $rgb[green], $rgb[blue]) which was only used in $colorcount[$goner] pixels", 0);
unset($colorcount[$goner]);
imagecolordeallocate($jpg, $goner);
$black = imagecolorallocate($jpg, 0, 0, 0);
}
if ($black == -1){
$black = imagecolorresolve($jpg, 0, 0, 0);
#error_log("Damn! STILL couldn't allocate the color!", 0);
}
imagecolorresolve
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
imagecolorresolve — Get the index of the specified color or its closest possible alternative
Description
This function is guaranteed to return a color index for a requested color, either the exact color or the closest possible alternative.
If you created the image from a file, only colors used in the image are resolved. Colors present only in the palette are not resolved.
Parameters
- image
-
An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
- red
-
Value of red component.
- green
-
Value of green component.
- blue
-
Value of blue component.
Return Values
Returns a color index.
Examples
Example #1 Using imagecoloresolve() to get colors from an image
<?php
// Load an image
$im = imagecreatefromgif('phplogo.gif');
// Get closest colors from the image
$colors = array();
$colors[] = imagecolorresolve($im, 255, 255, 255, 0);
$colors[] = imagecolorresolve($im, 0, 0, 200, 127);
// Output
print_r($colors);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array ( [0] => 89 [1] => 85 )
