Extract a part of UIImageView - iphone

I was wondering if it's possible to "extract" a part of UIImageView.
For example, I select using Warp Affine a part of the UIImageView and I know the selected part frame.
like in this image:
Is it possible to get from the original UIImageView only the selected part without losing quality?

Get the snapshot of the view via category method:
#implementation UIView(Snapshot)
-(UIImage*)makeSnapshot
{
CGRect wholeRect = self.bounds;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(wholeRect.size, YES, [UIScreen mainScreen].scale);
CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
[[UIColor blackColor] set];
CGContextFillRect(ctx, wholeRect);
[self.layer renderInContext:ctx];
UIImage* image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return image;
}
#end
then crop it to your rect via another category method:
#implementation UIImage(Crop)
-(UIImage*)cropFromRect:(CGRect)fromRect
{
fromRect = CGRectMake(fromRect.origin.x * self.scale,
fromRect.origin.y * self.scale,
fromRect.size.width * self.scale,
fromRect.size.height * self.scale);
CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(self.CGImage, fromRect);
UIImage* crop = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef scale:self.scale orientation:self.imageOrientation];
CGImageRelease(imageRef);
return crop;
}
#end
in your VC:
UIImage* snapshot = [self.imageView makeSnapshot];
UIImage* imageYouNeed = [snapshot cropFromRect:selectedRect];
selectedRect should be in you self.imageView coordinate system, if no so then use
selectedRect = [self.imageView convertRect:selectedRect fromView:...]

Yes, it's possibile.First you should get the UIImageView's image, using this property:
#property(nonatomic, retain) UIImage *image;
And NSImage's :
#property(nonatomic, readonly) CGImageRef CGImage;
Then you get the cut image:
CGImageRef cutImage = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(yourCGImageRef, CGRectMake(x, y, w, h));
If you want again a UIImage you should use this UIImage's method:
+ (UIImage *)imageWithCGImage:(CGImageRef)cgImage;
PS: I don't know how to do it directly, without convert it to CGImageRef, maybe there's a way.

Capture UIImage from UIView doesn't work

I'm trying to capture Image from custom View which has got mask layer using
[view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()]; but it doesn't work. The image's shape is rectangle but it should be custom. Here is code from custom UIView and below it there is code from capture image.
#implementation ViewForAnn
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
CALayer *mask = [CALayer layer];
mask.contents = (id)[[UIImage imageNamed:#"customPin"] CGImage];
mask.frame = self.bounds;
self.layer.mask = mask;
}
return self;
}
#end
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(32.0, 37.0));
[view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage * img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
customAnnotationView.image = img;
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
Could you help me to make it work?
You can try this.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(yourView.frame.size, yourView.opaque, 0);
[yourView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *imgView =UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Break down a picture in xcode for an iphone app

Is there any way that I can have the user upload an image into the app, say for example a 50X150 pixels image, and I can break it into 3 50x50 pixel images?
If so, can someone help me to select certain pixels and break it into several images?
Thank you!
Use this code...
// In following method inRect:(CGRect)rect >>> this rect should be 50x50 or you can define according to your requirements..
- (UIImage *)imageFromImage:(UIImage *)image inRect:(CGRect)rect {
CGImageRef sourceImageRef = [image CGImage];
CGImageRef newImageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(sourceImageRef, rect);
UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:newImageRef scale:1.0 orientation:image.imageOrientation];
CGImageRelease(newImageRef);
return newImage;
}

Hope, this will help you...enjoy
Define a category on UIImage that gives you a great cropping method:
- (UIImage *)cropImageInRect:(CGRect)cropRect
{
CGImageRef image = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(self.CGImage,cropRect);
UIImage *croppedImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:image];
CGImageRelease(image);
return croppedImage;
}
Now with this category you can easily do what you want to:
UIImage *original = ...;
UIImage left = [original cropImageInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 50.0, 50.0)];
UIImage center = [original cropImageInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, 50.0, 50.0, 50.0)];
UIImage right = [original cropImageInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, 100.0, 50.0, 50.0)];
I needed this, too. Added to a utils category method on UIImage:
// UIImage+Utls.h
#interface UIImage (UIImage_Utls)
- (UIImage *)subimageInRect:(CGRect)rect;
- (NSArray *)subimagesHorizontally:(NSInteger)count;
#end
// UIImage+Utls.m
#import "UIImage+Utls.h"
#implementation UIImage (UIImage_Utls)
- (UIImage *)subimageInRect:(CGRect)rect {
CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([self CGImage], rect);
UIImage *answer = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef];
CGImageRelease(imageRef);
return answer;
}
- (NSArray *)subimagesHorizontally:(NSInteger)count {
NSMutableArray *answer = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:count];
CGFloat width = self.size.width / count;
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, width, self.size.height);
for (int i=0; i<count; i++) {
[answer addObject:[self subimageInRect:rect]];
rect = CGRectOffset(rect, width, 0.0);
}
return [NSArray arrayWithArray:answer];
}
#end

Rounded Rect / Rounded corners for images in UITableView

I use this category and create images for my UITableView to all be the same size. Is there a way to have the images have rounded corners as well? Thanks!
+ (UIImage *)scale:(UIImage *)image toSize:(CGSize)size
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height)];
UIImage *scaledImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return scaledImage;
}
Edit: I then get the image, and other object info to put it in an NSDictionary to get in the UITableView. I tried changing the UIImageView.layer property in the cellForRowAtIndexPath, but it doesn't seem to do the trick:
cell.TitleLabel.text = [dict objectForKey:#"Name"];
cell.CardImage.image = [dict objectForKey:#"Image"];
cell.CardImage.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
You can add clipping to the drawing operation, the UIBezierPath class makes this super easy.
Extend you code to:
+ (UIImage *)scale:(UIImage *)image toSize:(CGSize)size
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height);
[[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundeRect:rect cornerRadius:5] addClip];
[image drawInRect:rect];
UIImage *scaledImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return scaledImage;
}
Try this
image.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
Include QuartzCore framework.
Import CALayer.h
image.layer.cornerFRadius = 5;
As said Sisu and the.evangelist : image.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
But you may need to also add :
[image.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];

Simple resizing image

I've been trying to use a method commonly used to resize an image. Without using this method, here is the code that takes a url of an image.
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:data];
cell.imageView.image = img;
This works fine. But when I try to use this method:
-(UIImage*)imageWithImage:(UIImage*)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize;
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext( newSize );
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0,0,newSize.width,newSize.height)];
UIImage* newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
}
and call it using this:
UIImage *scaledImage = [self imageWithImage:img scaledToSize:CGSizeMake(10.0f,10.0f)];
then putting into my table like this:
cell.imageView.image = scaledImage;
Nothing shows up. Is there something I'm missing here?
This is similar to Exporting customized UITableViewCells into UIImage
Here's what you need to do in your -imageWithImage:scaledToSize: method, modified from my answer to that question:
-(UIImage*)imageWithImage:(UIImage*)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize
{
// Create a bitmap context.
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
CGContextRef bitmapContextForScaledImage = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, newSize.width, newSize.height, 8, 0, colorSpace, kCGImageAlphaNone);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
// Draw the image's layer into the context.
UIImageView * imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[imageView.layer renderInContext:bitmapContextForCell];
[imageView release];
// Create a CGImage from the context.
CGImageRef cgScaledImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmapContextForScaledImage);
// Create a UIImage from the CGImage.
UIImage * scaledImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgScaledImage];
// Clean up.
CGImageRelease(cgScaledImage);
CGContextRelease(bitmapContextForScaledImage);
return scaledImage;
}

How do I draw multiple CGContextRefs to -drawRect?

I have saved a bunch of CGContextRefs and I want to draw all of these out in the drawRect portion of my UIView. How can I do this?
Here is one way:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
CGImageRef newImg = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(ctx1);
[[UIImage imageWithCGImage:newImg] drawInRect:rect];
CGImageRelease(newImg);
CGImageRef newImg = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(ctx2);
[[UIImage imageWithCGImage:newImg] drawInRect:rect];
CGImageRelease(newImg);
}
