Convert Imagemagick command to php imagick - php

Question

I need to convert the ImageMagick Command to PHP Imagick. I have tried a few combinations but nothing worked as expected. The command creates a line with pointy edges and gradient at the edges
The command is:
convert -size 300x1 xc:red \
\( -size 1x300 gradient: -rotate 90 -solarize 50% -level 0x50% -white-threshold 50% +write grad.png \) \
-alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite red_grad.png`
thanks to #fmw42 for this command
I have tried the following code:
$line = new Imagick();
$line->newPseudoImage(300,1,'xc:red');
$shadow = new Imagick();
$shadow->newPseudoImage(1, 300, 'gradient:red-white');
$shadow->rotateImage('transparent', 90);
$shadow->solarizeImage(50);
$shadow->levelImage(0,50,50);
$shadow->whiteThresholdImage('white');
$shadow->setImageCompose(0);
$shadow->writeImage('grad.png');
$shadow->compositeImage($line, Imagick::COMPOSITE_MATHEMATICS, 0, 0);
Please point out where am I going wrong

Answer 1

My best guess at translation would be the following. However, this is untested and I do not know Imagick well.
$redline = new Imagick();
$redline->newPseudoImage(300,1,'xc:red');
$grad = new Imagick();
$grad->newPseudoImage(1, 300, 'gradient:black-white');
$grad->rotateImage('white', 90);
$grad->solarizeImage(50*Imagick::getQuantumRange/100);
$grad->levelImage(0,1,50*Imagick::getQuantumRange/100);
$grad->whiteThresholdImage(50*Imagick::getQuantumRange/100);
$redline->compositeImage($grad, Imagick::COMPOSITE_COPYOPACITY, 0, 0);
$redline->writeImage("redline.png");

Answer 2

With a few tweaks, #fmw42 answer worked for me. The correct solution is given below
$redline = new Imagick();
$redline->newPseudoImage(1100,3,'xc:'.$chipColourPixel->getColorAsString());
$grad = new Imagick();
$grad->newPseudoImage(3, 900, 'gradient:black-white');
$grad->rotateImage('white', 90);
$grad->solarizeImage((int)ceil(50*Imagick::QUANTUM_RANGE/100));
$grad->levelImage(0,1,50*Imagick::QUANTUM_RANGE/100);
$redline->compositeImage($grad, Imagick::COMPOSITE_COPYOPACITY, 0, 0);
$redline->writeImage("redline.png");
