Can the loading method directly support the loading of image content?

[franklee0902]

For example, after generating the QRCode image, I want to create ImageObject directly with the
QRCode image content. Otherwise, I can only save it locally and then read the local file, wasting IO

[joseluisq]

Did you try render() method?
https://joseluisq.github.io/gimage/examples/render-images-in-memory/

[joseluisq]

Or do you want to load an image resource?

[franklee0902]

Yes, I want to load an image resource directly.Because the QRcode image has been generated in memory,I want to synthesize it to other image.

[joseluisq]

Well, due the library doesn't support image resource loading, we can add it as new feature.

[joseluisq]

Did you try to use Canvas?
Here an example:

$qr = new Image();
$qr->load('/img.png')
$qr->scale(0.5)
// preserve the image resource because save function destroy it by default
$qr->preserve()
$qr->save('/new_qr.png')

$img2 = new Image();
$img2->load('/img2.png')
$img2->scale(0.1)
$img2->save('/new_img2.png')

// use canvas to merge them as a new image
$canvas = new Canvas();
$canvas->append([
  $qr,
  $img2,
]);
$canvas->draw();
// Canvas extends from Image, so you can use all image methods too.
$canvas->save();

Tell me later how it was.

[franklee0902]

    $promotionImage = new Canvas($backgroundFigure);
    $promotionImage->append(
        [
            $headerImage,
            $qrcodeImage,
            $backgroundTextImage,
            $nickNameText,
        ]
    );
    $promotionImage->toJPG()->draw()->output();

[franklee0902]

Yes，I used Canvas.

use SimpleSoftwareIO\QrCode\Facades\QrCode;

private function generateQrcode(){
$this->stream = QrCode::format('png')
->merge($this->logoAbsolutePath, .2, true)
->size($this->size)
->margin($this->margin)
->generate($this->content);
}

I used "simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode" to generate QrCode image resource,and I want to load image resource like this:

/**
* Load an Image from stream.
*
* @param string Image stream
* @return void
*/
public function loadFromStream($stream)
{
$this->from = 'stream';

    if (Utils::isJPGResource($stream)) {
        $this->extension = 'jpg';
        $this->type = IMAGETYPE_JPEG;
    }

    if (Utils::isPNGResource($stream)) {
        $this->extension = 'png';
        $this->type = IMAGETYPE_PNG;
    }

    $this->resource = imagecreatefromstring($stream);
    $this->width = $this->boxWidth = imagesx($this->resource);
    $this->height = $this->boxHeight = imagesy($this->resource);

    return $this;
}

But I don't know how to add to the library is better.

  }

Yeah, that's the idea. I have created an issue #29 to do that.

[franklee0902]

Oh, that's great！

[joseluisq]

Done aa286bd
I will publish the new release in coming hours. But you can it directly from the master branch https://packagist.org/packages/joseluisq/gimage#dev-master

[joseluisq]

The new release v3.0.5 have published. Check out #29

[franklee0902]

I got it, thank you!
