Imagick::morphology — Description

### Description

public void Imagick::morphology ( int `$morphologyMethod` , int `$iterations` , ImagickKernel `$ImagickKernel` [, string `$CHANNEL` ] )

Applies a user supplied kernel to the image according to the given morphology method.

### Parameters

`morphologyMethod`

  Which morphology method to use one of the \Imagick::MORPHOLOGY_* constants.

`iterations`

  The number of iteration to apply the morphology function. A value of -1 means loop until no change found. How this is applied may depend on the morphology method. Typically this is a value of 1.

`ImagickKernel`

`CHANNEL`
