### Examples

Example #1 imagesetbrush() example

`<?php
// Load a mini php logo
$php = imagecreatefrompng('./php.png');
// Create the main image, 100x100
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100);
// Fill the background with white
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 299, 99, $white);
// Set the brush
imagesetbrush($im, $php);
// Draw a couple of brushes, each overlaying each
imageline($im, 50, 50, 50, 60, IMG_COLOR_BRUSHED);
// Output image to the browser
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
imagedestroy($php);
?>`

### Notes

> Note: You need not take special action when you are finished with a brush, but if you destroy the brush image, you must not use the `IMG_COLOR_BRUSHED` or `IMG_COLOR_STYLEDBRUSHED` colors until you have set a new brush image!
