Reason: Image stretches/compress itself to fit to specified area and usually get distorted.
So in order to maintain the actual aspect ratio of the image We can use this:
In Header file, Declare a method:
-(UIImage *)resizeImage:(UIImage *)image withWidth:(int) width withHeight:(int) height;
In (implementation).m file :
We need to define radians macro,this will be used in function definition declared above.
static inline double radians (double degrees) {return degrees * M_PI/180;}
Function definition:
-(UIImage *)resizeImage:(UIImage *)image withWidth:(int) width withHeight:(int) height {
CGImageRef imageRef = [image CGImage];
CGImageAlphaInfo alphaInfo = CGImageGetAlphaInfo(imageRef);
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpaceInfo = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
if (alphaInfo == kCGImageAlphaNone)
alphaInfo = kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast;
CGContextRef bitmap;
if (image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationUp | image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationDown) {
bitmap = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, width, height, CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(imageRef), CGImageGetBytesPerRow(imageRef), colorSpaceInfo, alphaInfo);
} else {
bitmap = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, height, width, CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(imageRef), CGImageGetBytesPerRow(imageRef), colorSpaceInfo, alphaInfo);
}
if (image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationLeft) {
NSLog(@"image orientation left");
CGContextRotateCTM (bitmap, radians(90));
CGContextTranslateCTM (bitmap, 0, -height);
} else if (image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationRight) {
NSLog(@"image orientation right");
CGContextRotateCTM (bitmap, radians(-90));
CGContextTranslateCTM (bitmap, -width, 0);
} else if (image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationUp) {
NSLog(@"image orientation up");
} else if (image.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationDown) {
NSLog(@"image orientation down");
CGContextTranslateCTM (bitmap, width,height);
CGContextRotateCTM (bitmap, radians(-180.));
}
CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), imageRef);
CGImageRef ref = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmap);
UIImage *result = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:ref];
CGContextRelease(bitmap);
CGImageRelease(ref);
return result;
}
