Container to hold the properties
protected ezcImageHandlerSettings $settings
Settings of the handlers

Method Summary

public ezcImageHandler __construct( $settings, $settings )
Create a new image handler.
public abstract bool allowsInput( $mime )
Check wether a specific MIME type is allowed as input for this handler.
public abstract bool allowsOutput( $mime )
Checks wether a specific MIME type is allowed as output for this handler.
public abstract void applyFilter( $image, $filter )
Applies a filter to a given image.
protected void checkFileName( $file )
Checks a file name for illegal characters.
public abstract void close( $reference )
Close the file referenced by $image.
public abstract void convert( $image, $mime )
Converts an image to another MIME type.
public abstract array(string) getFilterNames( )
Returns a list of filters this handler provides.
public abstract bool hasFilter( $name )
Checks if a given filter is available in this handler.
public abstract string load( $file, [$mime = null] )
Load an image file.
protected bool needsTransparencyConversion( $inMime, $outMime )
Returns if a MIME conversion needs transparent color replacement.
public abstract void save( $image, [$newFile = null], [$mime = null], [$options = null] )

Methods

__construct

ezcImageHandler __construct( ezcImageHandlerSettings $settings, ezcImageHandlerSettings $settings )
Create a new image handler.
Creates an image handler. This should never be done directly, but only through the manager for configuration reasons. One can get a direct reference through manager afterwards. When overwriting the constructor.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$settings ezcImageHandlerSettings Settings for the handler.
$settings ezcImageHandlerSettings  

allowsInput

bool allowsInput( string $mime )
Check wether a specific MIME type is allowed as input for this handler.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$mime string MIME type to check if it's allowed.

allowsOutput

bool allowsOutput( string $mime )
Checks wether a specific MIME type is allowed as output for this handler.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$mime string MIME type to check if it's allowed.

applyFilter

void applyFilter( string $image, ezcImageFilter $filter )
Applies a filter to a given image.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$image string Image reference to apply the filter on.
$filter ezcImageFilter Contains which filter operation to apply.

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcImageFilterNotAvailableException If the desired filter does not exist.
ezcImageMissingFilterParameterException If a parameter for the filter is missing.
ezcImageFilterFailedException If the operation performed by the the filter failed.
ezcBaseValueException If a parameter was not within the expected range.

checkFileName

void checkFileName( string $file )
Checks a file name for illegal characters.
Checks if a file name contains illegal characters, which are ", ' and $.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$file string The file name to check.

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcImageFileNameInvalidException If an invalid character (", ', $) is found in the file name.

void close( string $reference )
Close the file referenced by $image.
Frees the image reference. You should call close() before.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$reference string The image reference.

convert

void convert( string $image, string $mime )
Converts an image to another MIME type.
Use ezcImageHandler::allowsOutput() to determine, if the output MIME type is supported by this handler!

Parameters

Name Type Description
$image string Image reference to convert.
$mime string MIME type to convert to.

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcImageMimeTypeUnsupportedException If the given MIME type is not supported by the filter.

getFilterNames

array(string) getFilterNames( )
Returns a list of filters this handler provides.
The list returned is in format:
1.  array(
2.   => <string filtername>,
3.   => <string filtername>,
4.   ...
5.  )

hasFilter

bool hasFilter( string $name )
Checks if a given filter is available in this handler.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$name string Name of the filter to check for.

load

string load( string $file, [string $mime = null] )
Load an image file.
Loads an image file and returns a reference to it.
For developers: The use of ezcImageHandler::loadCommon() is highly recommended for the implementation of this method!

Parameters

Name Type Description
$file string File to load.
$mime string The MIME type of the file.

needsTransparencyConversion

bool needsTransparencyConversion( string $inMime, string $outMime )
Returns if a MIME conversion needs transparent color replacement.
In case a transparency supporting MIME type (like image/png) is converted to one that does not support transparency, special steps need to be performed. This method returns if the given conversion from $inMime to $outMime is affected by this.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$inMime string  
$outMime string  

save

void save( string $image, [string $newFile = null], [string $mime = null], [ezcImageSaveOptions $options = null] )
Save an image file.
Saves a given open file. Can optionally save to a new file name. The image reference is not freed automatically, so you need to call the close() method explicitly to free the referenced data.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$image string File reference created through.
$newFile string Filename to save the image to.
$mime string New MIME type, if differs from initial one.
$options ezcImageSaveOptions Options for saving.
