why the image become zoom while converting view to image? - iphone

I have uiview and i want to convert that view to image which is working quite well but when i pressed the home button of iphone and run the app again the image become zoom in .Here is my code to converting view to image.
- (UIImage *)captureView {
CGRect rect = [myview bounds];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
[myview.layer renderInContext:context];
UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return img;
}
checkImage.image = [self captureView];

here this code is not wrong but you used some other object instead of whole view . i don't know but try to use that view bounds in which that whole Image display.. See my answer same like your this answer from this bellow link..
how to capture uiview top uiview
Also try with self.view instead of myView in your code.
add this code instead of your checkImage.image = [self captureView]; line..
UIImageView *imgTempHeader = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[self captureView]];
imgTempHeader.frame = self.view.frame;
[self.view addSubview:imgTempHeader];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:imgTempHeader];

You should be creating the context in a way which uses the scale of the device:
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, NO, 0);
Then when you display the image in the image view ensure that the content mode is set to prevent scaling.

My experience is with setting up imageViews in IB. I assume checkImage is an instance of UIImageView?
If you were displaying an image in a UIImageView and had only set the view mode to center in interface builder it would appear zoomed in if the image was large.
Have a look at this way to process your image first:
UIImage *newImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithCGImage:myCGImageRef scale:myZoomSCale orientation:UIImageOrientationDown];
Of course you will need to give it a CGImageRef for your image. Over to you or somebody else for that.

annotationView override drawRect, image with alpha

Hello i want to override drawrect in my custom annotationView, so when i write
[[_mapView viewForAnnotation:annotation] setNeedsDisplay];
my annotation view will be redrawn and i wouldn't have to remove the annotation and add it again.
here is my drawRect
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
UIImage* theImage = nil;
if( _pinType == T_UNKNOWN ) theImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"imgU.png"];
else theImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"imgK.png"];
[theImage drawInRect:rect];
}
The problem is that my images are with alpha and the alpha part is black.
So maybe anyone knows the solution or some suggestions to this?
I've read a lot of post about this, also using core graphics, but didn't find the solution..
Thanks in advance!
Do you want this view to be partially transparent and display things under it? If so, use [self setOpaque:NO]. An opaque view's drawRect is responsible for drawing every pixel in the rectangle with a fully opaque color.
This function will be work correct for iOS 5.0. When you will use iOS version < 5.0, you'll got alpha part as black.
To try use another method for draw your images. I don't know for what you use this code. To try use:
UIImageView *image = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: theImage];
image.opaque = NO;
[self.view addSubview: image];

changing the bounds property of UIView in iOS, then rendering image

In my app:
I have a view (UIView *myView) wihth clipsToBound = YES;
I have a button to do changing the origin of bounds property:
CGRect newRect = myView.bounds;
newRect.origin.x += 100;
myView.bounds = newRect;
myView.layer.frame = newRect;
Then I get the image from the view:
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(myView.bounds.size);
[myView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage_after = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage_after, nil, nil, nil);
It produces the image I don't expected. I want a image as I see in the iPhone's screen.
Link for the code here:

Please help me!
You don't want to render the image itself in your context - that will always render in the same way (you're not altering the image, you're jsut moving how far up the view it is).
You want to render the image's parent view like this :
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(myView.superview.bounds.size);
[myView.superview.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage_after = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage_after, nil, nil, nil);
EDIT
However, you might not want to render everything in your superview :)
Your views might look something like
MainView
ImageView (myView)
UIButton (ok button)
UIButton (cancel button)
Here, rendering your image's superview will render MainView - including the buttons!
You need to add another view into your hierachy like this :
MainView
UIView (enpty uiview)
ImageView (myView)
UIButton (ok button)
UIButton (cancel button)
Now, when you render your image's superview, it's only got the image inside it - the buttons don't get rendered :)

How to convert UIView to UIImage without background?

I have UIView that contain a pin image and a label, as we know UIView is rectangle so if I convert UIView to UIImage,UIImage is also rectangle, I want make UIImage like the a pin image because if user click a background, UIImage's event will be called too.. I want to convert UIView to UIImage without it's background, how can it be?
I use this method to change UIView to UIImage
-(UIImage *) ChangeViewToImage : (UIView *) view{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(view.bounds.size);
[view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return img;
}
Hmm.. example like this, I have a rectangle as a UIView and a triangle as a shape in UIView. and then I want to make this UIView become a UIImage, but I just want the triangle without background, so the image just a triangle.. how can I do It?
A UIImage is always rectangular. What you can play with is the opacity in your views. If you make everything except your pin image transparent, it will seem as if you just have an image of the pin.
Use:
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
to make your view's background transparent.

overLap Image by another image

I am new to iphone development and making an application which chooses an image from existing album. After choosing the image I want to put another View on it, or another icon(acne).
Can anyone tell me how to put another image on existing image by code????
Basically if you want to overlay two views/images you can just do it like this:
[self.view addSubview:imageview1];
[self.view addSubview:imageview2];
imageview2 lays on imageview1, because you added it later.
You want to place UIImageView or UIView on the image ?
First you need to create the ImageView with the frame of your choosen image and create another ImageView in the same way as you created first ImageView and add second ImageView to your previous ImageView. if your second ImageView size is equal to the size of first ImageView, you would not be able to see your first ImageView, because it will overlap..
If you want to add a watermark on your image try this code:
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(320, 480));
// This is where we resize captured image
[(UIImage *)[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
// And add the watermark on top of it
[[UIImage imageNamed:#"Watermark.png"] drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(0, 0) blendMode:kCGBlendModeNormal alpha:WATERMARK_ALPHA];
// Save the results directly to the image view property
imageView.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

I want to generate a image of UIScrollView?

In iPhone application I want to generate a image of UIScrollView whose content size is near about 600*41000. If I use current graphic image context to capture the scroll view layer, then it only captures the visible part of the scroll view not the whole layer of that scroll view.
I am using the below code:
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(600, 4100));
[scrollView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
UIImageView *img = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(00, 100, 710, 4100)];
img.image = viewImage;
[anotherScrollView addSubview:img];
}
Try to generate image not from UIScrollView but from its content view. When you add some views to UIScrollView with something like addSubview: they become scroll's content ones. Of course, UIScrollView can have more than one content view (just as any UIView can have more than one subview) and this case it will be more difficult to render its layer. But in case of only one subview (content view) you can use something like (contentView here is just some view, added to UIScrollView before):
[contentView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
or:
[[[[scrollView subviews] lastObject] layer] renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
When you want to use more than one view, it will be easier (I think) to add one more "root" view and add others as that view's subviews: so you can also use the code above.
