imagesettile — Set the tile image for filling
Description
$image
, resource $tile
)
imagesettile() sets the tile image to be
used by all region filling functions (such as imagefill()
and imagefilledpolygon()) when filling with the special
color IMG_COLOR_TILED.
A tile is an image used to fill an area with a repeated pattern. Any GD image can be used as a tile, and by setting the transparent color index of the tile image with imagecolortransparent(), a tile allows certain parts of the underlying area to shine through can be created.
Note:
You need not take special action when you are finished with a tile, but if you destroy the tile image, you must not use the
IMG_COLOR_TILEDcolor until you have set a new tile image!
Parameters
-
image -
An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().
-
tile -
The image resource to be used as a tile.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

$im = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 200);
// Set the tile
imagesettile($im, $zend);
// Make the image repeat
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 199, 199, IMG_COLOR_TILED);
// Output image to the browser
