I have an image inside an UIImageView which is within a UIScrollView. What I want to do is rotate this image 90 degrees so that it is in landscape by default, and set the initi
Maybe rotating the image itself fits your needs:
UIImage* rotateUIImage(const UIImage* src, float angleDegrees) {
UIView* rotatedViewBox = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, src.size.width, src.size.height)];
float angleRadians = angleDegrees * ((float)M_PI / 180.0f);
CGAffineTransform t = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(angleRadians);
rotatedViewBox.transform = t;
CGSize rotatedSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size;
[rotatedViewBox release];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize);
CGContextRef bitmap = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextTranslateCTM(bitmap, rotatedSize.width/2, rotatedSize.height/2);
CGContextRotateCTM(bitmap, angleRadians);
CGContextScaleCTM(bitmap, 1.0, -1.0);
CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(-src.size.width / 2, -src.size.height / 2, src.size.width, src.size.height), [src CGImage]);
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
