Overview

This class attempts to make basic image manipulation easier in PHP. Each method is called as a static function:

Simple_Image::[method-name]($arg1, $arg2, $arg3, ...)

All methods require a $src file and a $dest file. If you're not worried about preserving the original image, $src and $dest can be the same file.

Many of the arguments are self explanatory. The $quality parameter can always be omitted, but if you need to set it then use 0-9 for PNG compression and 0-100 for JPEG quality (it is ignored for GIF files).

Requirements

This class requires the PHP GD library. Some methods (i.e. colorize and pixelate) require a more recent version of PHP. The rest can be used with any recent version of PHP + GD.
