I have a UIImageView that contains an image. At the minute the user can click to save the image within the UIImageView to disk.
I would like to make it so that the the
This will rotate an image by any given radians.
Note this works 2x and 3x retina as well
- (UIImage *)imageRotatedByDegrees:(CGFloat)degrees {
CGFloat radians = DegreesToRadians(degrees);
UIView *rotatedViewBox = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, self.size.width, self.size.height)];
CGAffineTransform t = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(radians);
rotatedViewBox.transform = t;
CGSize rotatedSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rotatedSize, NO, [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale]);
CGContextRef bitmap = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextTranslateCTM(bitmap, rotatedSize.width / 2, rotatedSize.height / 2);
CGContextRotateCTM(bitmap, radians);
CGContextScaleCTM(bitmap, 1.0, -1.0);
CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(-self.size.width / 2, -self.size.height / 2 , self.size.width, self.size.height), self.CGImage );
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
}
