Name

setTile( ) — assign a tile pattern for use with an image

Synopsis

GD::Image::setTile(image)

Use the setTile( ) method to assign an image as a tile pattern for use when drawing filled shapes within an image. First call setTile( ) with an image object, then draw using the gdTiledspecial color constant instead of the drawing command’s color parameter:

# Read in a pattern from a GIF file
open INFILE, "wallpaper.gif";
my $wallpaper = newFromGif GD::Image('INFILE');

$ Set $wallpaper as the current tilable pattern
$image->setTile($wallpaper);

# Draw a 100x100 rectangle tiled with the wallpaper pattern
$image->filledRectangle(0, 0, 100, 100, gdTiled);
