<?php
require(dirname(__FILE__) . "/src/MaterialDesign.Avatars.class.php");
/*
'X' : The character that you want to fill to the avatar.
512 (pixel) : The size of the avatar.
*/
$Avatar = new MDAvtars('X', 512);
?><?php
$Avatar->Output2Browser();
?><?
//You can resize the ouput size again here.
$OutputSize = 256;
$Avatar->Output2Browser($OutputSize);
?><?php
$Avatar->Save('./avatars/Avatar.png');
//You can resize the size you want to save again here.
$Avatar->Save('./avatars/Avatar256.png', 256);
$Avatar->Save('./avatars/Avatar128.png', 128);

?>If you do not need Chinese support, you can delete src/fonts/SourceHanSansCN-Normal.ttf.
When you input a Chinese character, it will automatically extract the first letter of the pinyin of the Chinese character instead of the original input if you deleted src/fonts/SourceHanSansCN-Normal.ttf.
$Avatar = new MDAvtars('林', 512);//The pinyin of "林" is "Lin".This will be the same as that below if you deleted src/fonts/SourceHanSansCN-Normal.ttf.
$Avatar = new MDAvtars('L', 512);//The first letter of that pinyin is "Lin".Copyright 2006-2015 Canbin Lin (lincanbin@hotmail.com)
