imagecreate - Create a new palette based image
Manual
Code Examples

imagecreate( int$width, int$height ): GdImage|false

imagecreate returns an image identifier representing a blank image of specified size.

In general, we recommend the use of imagecreatetruecolor instead of imagecreate so that image processing occurs on the highest quality image possible. If you want to output a palette image, then imagetruecolortopalette should be called immediately before saving the image with imagepng or imagegif.

Parameters

width

The image width.

height

The image height.

Return Values

Returns an image object on success, false on errors.
