my new php sig

[scrowler]

was browsing the gd lib function list and noticed "imagepolygon" so i made a php sig which generates 2 random polygons with 8 points, one white one red ish, adds text and a border then displays it:


http://scrowler.biorust.com/gdlib/sig2.php - random colours
http://scrowler.biorust.com/gdlib/fill.php - filled polygons, looks nifty

--edit-- damn seriously enable img tags sig is in my signature below and in the url above, its a php dynamic png image!

its dynamic, refresh it a few times

c&c? i didnt know whether this should be in here or graphics showoff but i posted it here since theres no graphic work involved in it.

what should i do to these sigs? i've just really been experimenting with gd lib in sigs, unfortunately lots of forums dont allow .php images, luckily biorust does, another reason why biorust > all

You can use the gd library and create a shoutbox sig. A friend of mine from a long time ago created one. It's pretty neat.

He even implemented IP Banning, filtering, etc.

Nice sig though. ^^ I think I'm going to learn php over the summer. :P

[scrowler]

yeah i would do that, except heaps of forums ban them as soon as you use them... gdlib is fun

[scrowler]

thanks... but that doesn't help me, i expect that somebody who can make random polygons etc in a dynamic sig would be able to display randomized quotes.

thanks anyway good luck with it

I still dunno ur target...what did u point for??i remembered GD can draw text on image..i read it on the manual.

gdlib is fun. You can do anything paint does but in a dynamic way

[scrowler]

ParaSnake - i was learning how to use the gdlib, and i used to function imagepolygon with some random functions where you usually define the points for the polygon, yes gdlb can draw text on images, but thats not all it can do.

that was the first thing i did with gdlib though - http://scrowler.biorust.com/gdlib/camel.php - my results.

I have been learning PHP too..but i just take little attention on GDlib...i only need it on my poll,WYSIWUWG online editor,and some auto-watermarking ...Could u pls tell me more about it??(like what kind of product u can make with it)

[BlodoPKNZ]

Kinda like something mspaint would do, only dynamically.

scrowler, did you know you can use freetype to add anti-aliased fonts as opposed the standard bitmap fonts? Positioning them is a challenge, however not too terribly hard.. never played too much with it.

[scrowler]

yeah i read that on the gblib manual on php.net, had a quick look at the freetype website and didn't think much of it

i really like the random colors but i dont think it turns out as good when ther filled
