Examples

Example #1 Get colors from the GD logo

<?php

// Setup an image
$im = imagecreatefrompng('./gdlogo.png');

$colors   = Array();
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 255, 0, 0, 0);
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 0, 0, 0, 127);
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 255, 255, 255, 55);
$colors[] = imagecolorexactalpha($im, 100, 255, 52, 20);

print_r($colors);

// Free from memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array
(
    [0] => 16711680
    [1] => 2130706432
    [2] => 939524095

)
