I am extending an image canvas with PHP gd:
$newimage = imagecreatetruecolor($imageWidth + 840, $imageHeight);
$color = imagecolorallocate($newimage, 0, 0, 0);
imagefill($newimage, 0, 0, $color);
imagecopy($newimage, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $imageWidth, $imageHeight);
//get extension of the cropped image
$ext = end(explode('.' , $imageName));
//timestamp it
$timestamp = time();
//rename the new image
$fileName = rand() . $timestamp . '.' . $ext;
//unlink old image
unlink($src);
//update the DB with new imagename
$update = array('update' => $this->image->update($imageID, $fileName));
//Set the path for the image
$path = 'data/gallery/' . $galleryID . '/images/album/' . $fileName;
//create the cropped image
imagejpeg($newimage,$path,$jpeg_quality);
This works as expected, the canvas is extended to the right 840 pixels. What I would like to be able to do is extend the canvas to the left 840 pixels. Not sure how to make this happen.
Thanks for the help.
