GD2 - Converting and uploaded graphic to black and white and monochrome

[purefusion]

Hey, I'm building a 'build-a-label' type system in PHP using GD2/ImageMagick type functions. What I'm looking for is a function (preferably in GD2, since I'm used to those functions) that would convert a (colored) logo to black and white, and/or a (colored or black and white) logo to a monochromatic specified color, such as red or blue. I appreciate all help on this so much!

Thanks :)

I know Image Magick has the -monochrome function, is there anything like this in GD? What about a colorize function to convert black and white to color?

If image is gif or png (palletted) you can change the color inthe image's pallette. This example lets you click on an image and change the clicked color to that specified in the R,G,B fields (red by default)

Save in "colorchange.php"
[code]<?php
$fn = $_GET['fn'];
$x = $_GET['x'];
$y = $_GET['y'];
$r = $_GET['R'];
$g = $_GET['G'];
$b = $_GET['B'];

$im = imagecreatefrompng($fn);
$col = imagecolorat($im, $x, $y);
imagecolorset($im, $col, $r, $g, $b);

header("content-type: image/png");
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>[/code]

Save in test.php and run
[code]<?php

$fn = 'myimage.png'; // set to your image name

if (isset($_GET['pic_x'])) {
    $x = $_GET['pic_x'];
    $y = $_GET['pic_y'];
    $r = $_GET['R'];
    $g = $_GET['G'];
    $b = $_GET['B'];

    echo "<img src='colorchange.php?fn=$fn&x=$x&y=$y&R=$r&G=$g&B=$b'>";
}
?>

<FORM>
Convert to R<INPUT TYPE='TEXT'  name='R' value='255' size='3' maxlength='3'>
G<INPUT TYPE='TEXT'  name='G' value='0' size='3' maxlength='3'>
B<INPUT TYPE='TEXT'  name='B' value='0' size='3' maxlength='3'>
<BR><INPUT TYPE='IMAGE'  name='pic' src='<?php echo $fn ?>'>
</FORM>[/code]
