# imagecolorat

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

imagecolorat -- Get the index of the color of a pixel

## Description

int imagecolorat ( resource image, int x, int y)

Returns the index of the color of the pixel at the specified location in the image specified by `image`.

If PHP is compiled against GD library 2.0 or higher and the image is a truecolor image, this function returns the RGB value of that pixel as integer. Use bitshifting and masking to access the distinct red, green and blue component values:

Example 1. Access distinct RGB values
    <?php
    $im = ImageCreateFromPng("rockym.png");
    $rgb = ImageColorAt($im, 100, 100);
    $r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
    $g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
    $b = $rgb & 0xFF;
    ?>
