This project is straight forward to use. It implements all the arguments from the commandline audiowaveform command as methods. The script calls the shell command. So audiowaveform has to be installed for this script to work.

Create a new instance of the AudiowaveformClient class to work with it. It automatically tries to detect where the audiowaveform command is installed.

$ac = new AudiowaveformClient();

Get the version of the installed audiowaveform:

echo $ac->getVersion();

The __constructor() method calls a method called detectAndSetPath() to find the audiowaveform binary.

You can override the name of the binary by using the setter method setBinaryName(string $binaryName).

All parameters have their own setter method:

• setColors(string $color)
• setWaveformColor(string $color)
• setBorderColor(string $color)
• setBackgroundColor(string $color)
• setAxisLabelColor(string $color)
• setInputFilename(string $name)
• setInputFormat(string $name)
• setOutputFilename(string $name)
• setSplitChannels()
• setPixelsPerSecond(Int $pixels)
• setBits(Int $bits)
• setStart(Int $start)
• setEnd(Int $end)
• setWidth(Int $width)
• setHeight(Int $height)
• setNoAxisLabels()
• setWithAxisLabels()
• setAmplitudeScale(Float $scale)
• setCompression(Int $level)
• setCompression(Int $level)
• setQuiet()
• and more

setInputFilename() and setOutputFilename() are required.

After you have set all parameters you have to call the execute() method to run the program, e.g.

$ac = new AudiowaveformClient()
$ac->setInputFilename('my-audio-file.mp3');
$ac->setBackgroundColor('000000');
$ac->setPixelsPerSecond(300);
$ac->setOutputFilename('my-audio-file.dat');
$ac->execute();

You can also chain all setters:

(new AudiowaveformClient)->setInputFilename('other-audio.wav')setColors('ff9900')->setPixelsPerSecond(300)->setOutputFilename('my-audio-file.dat')->execute();
