Imagick::sparseColorImage

← solarizeImage   spliceImage →
Given the arguments array containing numeric values this method interpolates the colors found at those coordinates across the whole image using sparse_method. This method is available if Imagick has been compiled against ImageMagick version 6.4.5 or newer.

Fill an image with color with the defined sparse color method.

Barycentric - Maps three colors onto a linear triangle of color. The colors outside this triangle continue as before. This method is useful for creating smooth gradients of color.

Bilinear - This method fits an equation to 4 points, over all three color channels to produce a uniform color gradient between the points, and beyond.

Shepards - The "Shepards" method uses a ratio of the inverse squares of the distances to each of the given points to determine the color of the canvas at each point.

Voronoi - Maps each pixel in the image to the color of the closest point point provided. This basically divides the image into a set of polygonal 'cells' around each point.
