im makes the line in php and while it is showing it is thin, but what problem im get now is that the line is not smooth, it shows as broken edges. Below is the code for creating a radius line:
function draw_radius($img, $x1, $y1, $radius, $angle, $arrow_color, $arrow_length = 10, $arrow_width = 3)
{
$x2 = $x1 + $radius * cos(deg2rad($angle-90));
$y2 = $y1 + $radius * sin(deg2rad($angle-90));
imageline($img, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $arrow_color);
$distance = sqrt(pow($x1 - $x2, 2) + pow($y1 - $y2, 2));
$dx = $x2 + ($x1 - $x2) * $arrow_length / $distance;
$dy = $y2 + ($y1 - $y2) * $arrow_length / $distance;
$k = $arrow_width / $arrow_length;
$x2o = $x2 - $dx;
$y2o = $dy - $y2;
$x3 = $y2o * $k + $dx;
$y3 = $x2o * $k + $dy;
$x4 = $dx - $y2o * $k;
$y4 = $dy - $x2o * $k;
imageline($img, $x1, $y1, $dx, $dy, $arrow_color);
imageline($img, $x3, $y3, $x4, $y4, $arrow_color);
imageline($img, $x3, $y3, $x2, $y2, $arrow_color);
imageline($img, $x2, $y2, $x4, $y4, $arrow_color);
}
The following is an example of a compass on which a drawing line is drawn.
