Image resize with white space

[gte806e]

I'm wondering:

I've written an image resize script that will scale photos which are too large down. However, I'd like the script to also add white space to the images which are not large enough.

I know the way to calculate their center points but how can I specify the background color of the image created which will be the new image.

TIA,

Jesse

i would say create a new image reference with the H W you need, then fill it the BG color you want... then use imagecopy to put the original image over the background at the proper X/Y start points to leave the BG color surrounding it...

more work... but I dont see any easier way to do it...
