imagearc

Draws an arc (PHP 4, PHP 5)
bool imagearc ( resource image, int cx, int cy, int width, int height, int start, int end, int color )

imagearc() draws an arc of circle centered at the given coordinates.

Parameters

image

An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().

cx

x-coordinate of the center

cy

y-coordinate of the center

width

The arc width

height

The arc height

start

The arc start angle, in degrees.

end

The arc end angle, in degrees. 0° is located at the three-o'clock position, and the arc is drawn clockwise.

color

A color identifier created with imagecolorallocate()

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example 986. Drawing a circle with imagearc()

<?php

// create a 200*200 image
$img = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 200);

// allocate some colors
$white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255);
$red   = imagecolorallocate($img, 255,   0,   0);
$green = imagecolorallocate($img,   0, 255,   0);
$blue  = imagecolorallocate($img,   0,   0, 255);

// draw the head
imagearc($img, 100, 100, 200, 200,  0, 360, $white);
// mouth
imagearc($img, 100, 100, 150, 150, 25, 155, $red);
// left and then the right eye
imagearc($img,  60,  75,  50,  50,  0, 360, $green);
imagearc($img, 140,  75,  50,  50,  0, 360, $blue);

// output image in the browser
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($img);

// free memory
imagedestroy($img);

?>

[note-Apache/1.3.29 (Win32) PHP/4.3.4]
The imagearc (and imageellipse) functions do not accept line thicknesses when drawn from 0 to 360 degrees.
Drawing from 0 to 359 and again from 359 to 360 does create an ellipse with the current line thickness.

To fill an arc (DiameterX != DiameterY):
<?
function imagefilledarc($Image, $CenterX, $CenterY, $DiameterX, $DiameterY, $Start, $End, $Color) {
// To draw the arc
imagearc($Image, $CenterX, $CenterY, $DiameterX, $DiameterY, $Start, $End, $Color);
// To close the arc with 2 lines between the center and the 2 limits of the arc
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad($Start))*($DiameterX/2));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad($Start))*($DiameterY/2));
imageline($Image, $x, $y, $CenterX, $CenterY, $Color);
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad($End))*($DiameterX/2));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad($End))*($DiameterY/2));
imageline($Image, $x, $y, $CenterX, $CenterY, $Color);
// To fill the arc, the starting point is a point in the middle of the closed space
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad(($Start+$End)/2))*($DiameterX/4));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad(($Start+$End)/2))*($DiameterY/4));
imagefilltoborder($Image, $x, $y, $Color, $Color);
}
?>
To close the arc with 2 lines (DiameterX != DiameterY):
<?
function imagenofilledarc($Image, $CenterX, $CenterY, $DiameterX, $DiameterY, $Start, $End, $Color) {
// To draw the arc
imagearc($Image, $CenterX, $CenterY, $DiameterX, $DiameterY, $Start, $End, $Color);
// To close the arc with 2 lines between the center and the 2 limits of the arc
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad($Start))*($DiameterX/2));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad($Start))*($DiameterY/2));
imageline($Image, $x, $y, $CenterX, $CenterY, $Color);
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad($End))*($DiameterX/2));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad($End))*($DiameterY/2));
imageline($Image, $x, $y, $CenterX, $CenterY, $Color);
}
?>
An example:
<?
$destImage = imagecreate( 216, 152 );
$c0 = imagecolorallocate( $destImage, 0, 255, 255 );
$c1 = imagecolorallocate( $destImage, 0, 0, 0 );
$c2 = imagecolorallocate( $destImage, 255, 0, 0 );
ImageFilledRectangle ( $destImage, 0, 0, 216, 152, $c0 );
imagefilledarc( $destImage, 108, 76, 180, 80, 0, 130, $c1 );
imagenofilledarc( $destImage, 108, 76, 180, 80, 0, 130, $c2 );
header("content-type: image/PNG");
ImagePNG( $destImage );
ImageDestroy( $destImage );

To do filled arcs, try something like this:
$diameter = 50;
imagearc($image, 25, 25, $diameter, $diameter, $start, $end, $color);
while($diameter > 0)
{
 imagearc($image, 25, 25, $diameter, $diameter, $start, $start + 1, $color);
 imagearc($image, 25, 25, $diameter, $diameter, $end - 1, $end, $color);
 $diameter--;
}
...well you get the point.  It's a kludge, and *very* slow, but it's free.

There is another way to fill an arc :
// To draw the arc
$Color = imagecolorallocate($Image, $Red, $Green, $Blue);
imagearc($Image, $CenterX, $CenterY, $Diameter, $Diameter, $Start, $End, $Color);
// To close the arc with 2 lines between the center and the 2 limits of the arc
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad($Start))*($Diameter/2));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad($Start))*($Diameter/2));
imageline($Image, $x, $y, $CenterX, $CenterY, $Color);
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad($End))*($Diameter/2));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad($End))*($Diameter/2));
imageline($Image, $x, $y, $CenterX, $CenterY, $Color);
// To fill the arc, the starting point is a point in the middle of the closed space
$x = $CenterX + (cos(deg2rad(($Start+$End)/2))*($Diameter/4));
$y = $CenterY + (sin(deg2rad(($Start+$End)/2))*($Diameter/4));
imagefilltoborder($Image, $x, $y, $Color, $Color);

The wierd thing is that the first two integers tell where to place the "circle".
So for example I first create the "pallet" to place the circle on.
$image = imagecreate(500, 500);  
(this makes a huge 500x500 gif :) )
$colorBody = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
(make the default color of the "pallet" black
$circleColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 0, 255);
(going to make the circle an ugly pink color)
imagearc($image, 250, 250, 300, 300, 0, 360, $circleColor);
Places the image in the center (250,250) and the circle is 300 pixels in diameter.
Hope this helps.

Right...
possibly the easiest way of drawing a filled circle:
Loop through the imagearc function incrementing the diameter by one pixel:
<?
// --- code fragment --- //
for($i=1; $i<$Diameter; $i++){
 imagearc($Image, $CenterX, $CenterY, $i, $i, $Start, $End, $Color);
}
// --------------------- //
?>
This works great for circles with diameters up to about 60 or 70 pixels wide. After that, you start to get pixle gaps.

Please note that in order to draw a complete circle or ellipse (without using the imageellipse) you mustn't use 0° for both s and e. If you do this you will get, umm, nothing. Instead set s to 0° and e to 360° to get a complete circle or ellipse.

imagesetstyle() sets the style to be used by all line drawing functions when drawing with the special color .
Here goes a example of drawing a dashed-line circle.enjoy!
<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreate(100,100);
$b   = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$w   = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$style = array ($b,$b,$b,$b,$b,$w,$w,$w,$w,$w);
imagesetstyle ($im, $style);
imagearc($im,50,50,100,100,0,360,IMG_COLOR_STYLED);
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

If circles overlap, a temporary border is needed when filling:
ImageArc ($im,$x,$y,$w,$h,0,360,$temp_color);
ImageFillToBorder($im,$x,$y,$temp_color,$fill_color);
ImageArc ($im,$x,$y,$w,$h,0,360,$fill_color);

I found a better way for drawing a pie chart:
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$diameter = 100;
$radius = $diameter / 2;
$centerX = $radius;
$centerY = $radius;
$im = @ImageCreate ($diameter, $diameter)
   or die ("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$red = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 176, 0, 0);
function fill_arc($start, $end, $color) {
global $diameter, $centerX, $centerY, $im, $radius;
imagearc($im, $centerX, $centerY, $diameter, $diameter, $start, $end, $color);
imageline($im, $centerX, $centerY, $centerX + cos(deg2rad($start)) * $radius, $centerY + sin(deg2rad($start)) * $radius, $color);
imageline($im, $centerX, $centerY, $centerX + cos(deg2rad($end)) * $radius, $centerY + sin(deg2rad($end)) * $radius, $color);
imagefill ($im,$centerX + $radius * 0.5 *cos(deg2rad($start+($end-$start)/2)), $centerY + $radius * 0.5 * sin(deg2rad($start+($end-$start)/2)), $color);
}
fill_arc(0,30,$red);
// Will make a red filled arc, starting at 0 degrees, ending at 30 degrees
ImagePng ($im);

Heres a function to make a curve between two points... This will be a downward curve but it wouldn't be hard to make a similar function to make an upward curve. The first point has to be to the left of the second point ($x1 < $x2), and height is actually backwards. The larger height is the less of a crest the curve has. I imagine with a few modifications this functions could make upward curves as well.
function ImageCurveDown ($image, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $height, $color) {
   $presicion = 1;
   for ($left = ($x1-$x2); $left < 0; $left++){
       if ($y1 < $y2) {
           $cy = $y2 + $height;
           $cx = $x1 - $left;
       } else {
           $cy = $y1 + $height;
           $cx = $x2 + $left;
       }
       $nx1 = abs($x1 - $cx);
       $ny1 = abs($y1 - $cy);
       $nx2 = abs($x2 - $cx);
       $ny2 = abs($y2 - $cy);
       if ($y1 < $y2) {
           if ($nx2 == 0 || $ny1 == 0) continue;
           $angle1 = atan($height/$nx2);
           $A1 = $nx2/cos ($angle1);
           $B1 = $ny2/sin ($angle1);
           $angle2 = pi()/2 +atan($left/$ny1);
           $A2 = $nx1/cos ($angle2);
           $B2 = $ny1/sin ($angle2);
       } else {
           if ($ny2 == 0 || $nx1 == 0) continue;
           $angle1 = atan($ny2/$nx2);
           $A1 = abs($nx2/cos ($angle1));
           $B1 = abs($ny2/sin ($angle1));
           $angle2 = atan($height/$nx1);
           $A2 = abs ($nx1/cos ($angle2));
           $B2 = abs($ny1/sin ($angle2));
       }
       if (abs($A1 - $A2) < $presicion && abs ($B1 - $B2) < $presicion) {
           ImageArc($image, $cx, $cy, $A1*2, $B1*2, 180+rad2deg($angle2), 360-rad2deg($angle1), $color);
       }
   }

Here's the function to draw rotated ellipses again. This time I've optimised it a bit, fixed the no-fill bug, and used a 'squishratio' rather than a 'radiusmodifier', to make the curves perfect, so ignore my previous version.
function rotatedellipse($im, $cx, $cy, $width, $height, $rotateangle, $colour, $filled=true) {
  $step=2;
  $cosangle=cos(deg2rad($rotateangle));
  $sinangle=sin(deg2rad($rotateangle));
  $squishratio = $height/$width;
  $nopreviouspoint = true;
  for ($angle=0; $angle<=(180+$step); $angle+=$step) {
     
     $ox = ($width * cos(deg2rad($angle)));
     $oy = ($width * sin(deg2rad($angle))) * $squishratio;
     $x =  + (($ox * $cosangle) - ($oy * $sinangle));
     $y = $centrey + (($ox * $sinangle) + ($oy * $cosangle));
 
     if ($nopreviouspoint) {
       $px=$x;
       $py=$y;
       $nopreviouspoint=false;
     }
     if ($filled) {
        triangle($im, $cx, $cy, $cx+$px, $cy+$py, $cx+$x, $cy+$y, $colour);
        triangle($im, $cx, $cy, $cx-$px, $cx-$py, $cx-$x, $cy-$y, $colour);
     } else {
        imageline($im, $cx+$px, $cy+$py, $cx+$x, $cy+$y, $colour);
        imageline($im, $cx-$px, $cx-$py, $cx-$x, $cy-$y, $colour);
     }
     $px=$x;
     $py=$y;
  }
}
function triangle($im, $x1,$y1, $x2,$y2, $x3,$y3, $colour) {
  $coords = array($x1,$y1, $x2,$y2, $x3,$y3);
  imagefilledpolygon($im, $coords, 3, $colour);
}

A previous for the Rotated (Filled)Ellipse note from(nojer2 at yahoo dot com, 02-Apr-2001 12:06) has a mistake, at the second arc. Replace them with the following listing.
if ($filled) {
triangle($im, $cx, $cy, $cx+$px, $cy+$py, $cx+$x, $cy+$y, $colour);
triangle($im, $cx, $cy, $cx-$px, $cy-$py, $cx-$x, $cy-$y, $colour);
} else {
imageline($im, $cx+$px, $cy+$py, $cx+$x, $cy+$y, $colour);
imageline($im, $cx-$px, $cy-$py, $cx-$x, $cy-$y, $colour);
}
