Hey there. I’m trying to do some image manipulation for a custom plugin, and some of it requires a bit more than the WP_Image_Editor really provides (Like making new images), and part of my requirements is to manipulate a WP_Image_Editor image in GD, and I’d rather not deal with files.<\/p>\n

I tried using the WP_Image_Editor::stream function, but it seems to always return 1 when I put that output into the error_log.<\/p>\n

My code is here:<\/p>\n

function wpToGD($image_wp){\n    error_log(print_r($image_wp->stream()));\n    return imagecreatefromstring($image_wp->stream());\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n
Is there something I’m missing here?  Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6901997","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-gd","topic-tag-image-manipulation","topic-tag-wp_image_editor"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6901997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/6901997\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6901997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
