The simplest way to resize an UIImage?

Question

In my iPhone app, I take a picture with the camera, then I want to resize it to 290*390 pixels. I was using this method to resize the image :

UIImage *newI         


        

Answer 1

[cf Chris] To resize to a desired size:

UIImage *after = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:before.CGImage
                                     scale:CGImageGetHeight(before.CGImage)/DESIREDHEIGHT
                               orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];

or, equivalently, substitute CGImageGetWidth(...)/DESIREDWIDTH
