Example #1 imagesetpixel() example

A random drawing that ends with a regular picture.

<?php

$x = 200;
$y = 200;

$gd = imagecreatetruecolor($x, $y);

$corners[0] = array('x' => 100, 'y' => 10);
$corners[1] = array('x' => 0, 'y' => 190);
$corners[2] = array('x' => 200, 'y' => 190);

$red = imagecolorallocate($gd, 255, 0, 0);

for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {
imagesetpixel($gd, round($x), round($y), $red);
$a = rand(0, 2);
$x = ($x + $corners[$a]['x']) / 2;
$y = ($y + $corners[$a]['y']) / 2;
}

header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($gd);

?>
