FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Basic Principles
The main purpose of Imagine is to provide all the necessary functionality to bring all native low level image processing libraries in PHP to the same simple and intuitive OO API.
Several things are necessary to accomplish that:
- Image manipulation tools, such as resize, crop, etc.
- Drawing API - to create basic shapes and advanced charts, write text on the image
- Masking functionality - ability to apply black&white or grayscale images as masks, leading to semi-transparency or absolute transparency of the image the mask is being applied to
The above tools should be the basic foundation for a more powerful set of tools that are called Filters in Imagine.
Some of the ideas for upcoming filters:
- Charting and graphing filters - pie and bar charts, linear graphs with annotations
- Reflection - apple style
- Rounded corners - web 2.0
