center crop with gravity using Imagick and PHP

php imagick

I'm looking to center crop and image using Imagick PHP apis (not command line version of Imagick).

Essentially I want to do what is possible via command line, using API. Here is an example via command line: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#crop_gravity

Here is what I'm doing (not working). It always crops the upper left corner of the source:

        $this->imagickObj->setGravity(\Imagick::GRAVITY_CENTER);
        $this->imagickObj->cropImage(300,250,0,0);
        $this->imagickObj->setImagePage(0, 0, 0, 0);

Why is the setGravity not applying to the image before the crop? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagick-setgravity.php says it should apply to the object (in this case the single image)...

Answer

Its too late for the original person who asked the question but for future visitors, correct solution is

bool Imagick::cropThumbnailImage ( int $width , int $height )

Sorry for late reply but I too stuck here just 30 mins ago and first google result redirected me here. Hope same will not happen with others.
