### Description

bool imageconvolution ( resource `$image` , array `$matrix` , float `$div` , float `$offset` )

Applies a convolution matrix on the image, using the given coefficient and offset.

### Parameters

`image`

  An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().

`matrix`

  A 3x3 matrix: an array of three arrays of three floats.

`div`

### Examples

Example#1 Embossing the PHP.net logo

`<?php
$image = imagecreatefromgif('http://www.php.net/images/php.gif');
$emboss = array(array(2, 0, 0), array(0, -1, 0), array(0, 0, -1));
imageconvolution($image, $emboss, 1, 127);
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($image, null, 9);
?>`

The above example will output:

Example#2 Gaussian blur

`<?php
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(180,40);
// Writes the text and apply a gaussian blur on the image
imagestring($image, 5, 10, 8, 'Gaussian Blur Text', 0x00ff00);
$gaussian = array(array(1.0, 2.0, 1.0), array(2.0, 4.0, 2.0), array(1.0, 2.0, 1.0));
imageconvolution($image, $gaussian, 16, 0);
// Rewrites the text for comparison
imagestring($image, 5, 10, 18, 'Gaussian Blur Text', 0x00ff00);
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($image, null, 9);
?>`

The above example will output:
