The parameters we use with
Imageellipse () are the handle, the X and Y center coordinates, the width and height of the ellipse, and the color. Like we did with our line, we can also put our ellipse into a loop to create a spiral effect.
<?php
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$handle = ImageCreate (130, 50) or die ("Cannot Create image");
$bg_color = ImageColorAllocate ($handle, 255, 0, 0);
$txt_color = ImageColorAllocate ($handle, 255, 255, 255);
$line_color = ImageColorAllocate ($handle, 0, 0, 0);
for($i=0;$i<=130;$i=$i+10)
{
imageellipse ($handle, $i, 25, 40, 40, $line_color);
}
ImageString ($handle, 5, 5, 18, "PHP.About.com", $txt_color);
ImagePng ($handle);
?>
If you need to create a solid ellipse, you should use
Imagefilledellipse () instead.
