Image Composite

Description

Similar to the ImageMagick composite utility: compose an image on top of another one using a CompositeOperator.

Usage

image_composite(
  image,
  composite_image,
  operator = "atop",
  offset = "+0+0",
  gravity = "northwest",
  compose_args = ""
)

image_border(image, color = "lightgray", geometry = "10x10", operator = "copy")

image_frame(image, color = "lightgray", geometry = "25x25+6+6")

image_shadow_mask(image, geometry = "50x10+30+30")

image_shadow(
  image,
  color = "black",
  bg = "none",
  geometry = "50x10+30+30",
  operator = "copy",
  offset = "+20+20"
)

image_shade(image, azimuth = 30, elevation = 30, color = FALSE)

Arguments

image	magick image object returned by image_read() or image_graph()
composite_image	composition image
operator	string with a composite operator from compose_types()
offset	string with either a gravity_type or a geometry_point to set position of top image.
gravity	string with gravity value from gravity_types.
compose_args	additional arguments needed for some composite operations
color	Set to true to shade the red, green, and blue components of the image.
geometry	a geometry string to set height and width of the border, e.g. "10x8". In addition image_frame allows for adding shadow by setting an offset e.g. "20x10+7+2".
bg	background color
azimuth	position of light source
elevation	position of light source

Details

The image_composite function is vectorized over both image arguments: if the first image has n frames and the second m frames, the output image will contain n * m frames.

The image_border function creates a slightly larger solid color frame and then composes the original frame on top. The image_frame function is similar but has an additional feature to create a shadow effect on the border (which is really ugly).

Examples

# Compose images using one of many operators
imlogo <- image_scale(image_read("logo:"), "x275")
rlogo <- image_read("https://jeroen.github.io/images/Rlogo-old.png")

# Standard is atop
image_composite(imlogo, rlogo)

# Same as 'blend 50' in the command line
image_composite(imlogo, rlogo, operator = "blend", compose_args="50")

# Offset can be geometry or gravity
image_composite(logo, rose, offset = "+100+100")
image_composite(logo, rose, gravity = "East")

# Add a border frame around the image
image_border(imlogo, "red", "10x10")
image_frame(imlogo)
image_shadow(imlogo)
image_shade(imlogo)
