UIImage: Resize, then Crop

Question

I\'ve been bashing my face into this one for literally days now and even though I feel constantly that I am right on the edge of revelation, I simply cannot achieve my goal.

Answer 1

I modified Brad Larson's Code. It will aspect fill the image in given rect.

-(UIImage*) scaleAndCropToSize:(CGSize)newSize;
{
    float ratio = self.size.width / self.size.height;

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);

    if (ratio > 1) {
        CGFloat newWidth = ratio * newSize.width;
        CGFloat newHeight = newSize.height;
        CGFloat leftMargin = (newWidth - newHeight) / 2;
        [self drawInRect:CGRectMake(-leftMargin, 0, newWidth, newHeight)];
    }
    else {
        CGFloat newWidth = newSize.width;
        CGFloat newHeight = newSize.height / ratio;
        CGFloat topMargin = (newHeight - newWidth) / 2;
        [self drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, -topMargin, newSize.width, newSize.height/ratio)];
    }

    UIImage* newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return newImage;
}
