I've modified the previous entry for drawing on a polar coordinate system to better represent angles based on a 360º whole circle bearing.
<?php
function imagepolarline($image,$x1,$y1,$length,$angle,$color)
{
$x2 = $x1 + sin( deg2rad($angle) ) * $length;
$y2 = $y1 + cos( deg2rad($angle+180) ) * $length;
imageline($image,$x1,$y1,$x2,$y2,$color);
}

Here's a function to plot a line on a polar coordinate system:
<?php
function imagepolarline($image,$x1,$y1,$length,$angle,$color)
{
$x2 = $x1 + sin( deg2rad($angle+90) ) * $length;
$y2 = $y1 + cos( deg2rad($angle+90) ) * $length;
imageline($image,$x1,$y1,$x2,$y2,$color);
}
?>
x1,y1 are the coordinates for the central point. If you want the orientation to be like a compass i.e. 90 degrees = East, 180 = South etc, then use the following:
$x2 = $x1 + cos( deg2rad($angle-90)) * $length;
$y2 = $y1 + sin( deg2rad($angle-90)) * $length;

This is a function to make a dotted line. It accepts (it actually requires) 7 parameters and returns 1 if everything went OK and 0 if there was a problem.
int imagelinedotted ( resource im, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, int dist, int col )
imagelinedotted() draws a line from x1, y1 to x2, y2 (top left is 0, 0) in image im of colour col where dist defines the distance (measured in pixels) between one dot and another.
<?php
function imagelinedotted ($im, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, $dist, $col) {
$transp = imagecolortransparent ($im);
$style = array ($col);
for ($i=0; $i<$dist; $i++) {
array_push($style, $transp); // Generate style array - loop needed for customisable distance between the dots
}
imagesetstyle ($im, $style);
return (integer) imageline ($im, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2, IMG_COLOR_STYLED);
imagesetstyle ($im, array($col)); // Reset style - just in case...

Here is a function which draws lines that cross at a specific point [It may need some tweaking]:
<?php
// Image Cross by Matt Evans
// $im - image resource
// $x - x coordinate where the lines should cross
// $y - y coordinate where the lines should cross
// $size - the length of each line
// $colour - the colour of the cross
function imagecross($im, $x, $y, $size = 5, $colour) {
imageline($im, $x+$size/2, $y+$size/2, $x-$size/2, $y-$size/2, $colour);
imageline($im, $x-$size/2, $y+$size, $x+$size/2, $y-$size, $colour);
}
// Example
imagecross($im, 50, 50, 5, $crosscolour);
?>

imageline coordinate variables are documented as int , a value in decimal format will be truncated.
This may be useful when, for example, applying a non-integer scaling factor in generating an image.
Care should be taken to ensure this does not create significant errors that affect the quality of the image. For example :
<?php
$x=0.00000000001;$y=100;
imageline($img,0,0,0,$y+$x);
imageline($img,0,0,0,$y-$x);
?>
the first line will be straight , the second will have a step. Use round() where appropriate.

$angle=(atan2(($start_y - $end_y),($end_x - $start_x)));

$dist_y=$thickness*(cos($angle));
$p1x=ceil(($start_x + $dist_x));
$p1y=ceil(($start_y + $dist_y));
$p2x=ceil(($end_x + $dist_x));
$p2y=ceil(($end_y + $dist_y));
$p3x=ceil(($end_x - $dist_x));
$p3y=ceil(($end_y - $dist_y));
$p4x=ceil(($start_x - $dist_x));
$p4y=ceil(($start_y - $dist_y));
$array=array(0=>$p1x,$p1y,$p2x,$p2y,$p3x,$p3y,$p4x,$p4y);
imagefilledpolygon ( $img, $array, (count($array)/2), $color );
}
// Example:

$img = ImageCreate (210, 210) or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream ");
$backgroundcolor = ImageColorAllocate ($img, 255, 255, 255);

Here my function do clear all problems. With this, you can draw firstly smooth lines (basic code adapted from code_couturier at graffiti dot net, with some performance changes).
