How to Rotate a UIImage 90 degrees?

Question

I have a UIImage that is UIImageOrientationUp (portrait) that I would like to rotate counter-clockwise by 90 degrees (to landscape). I don\'t want

Swift 3 UIImage extension:

func fixOrientation() -> UIImage {

    // No-op if the orientation is already correct
    if ( self.imageOrientation == .up ) {
        return self;
    }

    // We need to calculate the proper transformation to make the image upright.
    // We do it in 2 steps: Rotate if Left/Right/Down, and then flip if Mirrored.
    var transform: CGAffineTransform = .identity

    if ( self.imageOrientation == .down || self.imageOrientation == .downMirrored ) {
        transform = transform.translatedBy(x: self.size.width, y: self.size.height)
        transform = transform.rotated(by: .pi)
    }

    if ( self.imageOrientation == .left || self.imageOrientation == .leftMirrored ) {
        transform = transform.translatedBy(x: self.size.width, y: 0)
        transform = transform.rotated(by: .pi/2)
    }

    if ( self.imageOrientation == .right || self.imageOrientation == .rightMirrored ) {
        transform = transform.translatedBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height);
        transform = transform.rotated(by: -.pi/2);
    }

    if ( self.imageOrientation == .upMirrored || self.imageOrientation == .downMirrored ) {
        transform = transform.translatedBy(x: self.size.width, y: 0)
        transform = transform.scaledBy(x: -1, y: 1)
    }

    if ( self.imageOrientation == .leftMirrored || self.imageOrientation == .rightMirrored ) {
        transform = transform.translatedBy(x: self.size.height, y: 0);
        transform = transform.scaledBy(x: -1, y: 1);
    }

    // Now we draw the underlying CGImage into a new context, applying the transform
    // calculated above.
    let ctx: CGContext = CGContext(data: nil, width: Int(self.size.width), height: Int(self.size.height),
                                   bitsPerComponent: self.cgImage!.bitsPerComponent, bytesPerRow: 0,
                                   space: self.cgImage!.colorSpace!,
                                   bitmapInfo: self.cgImage!.bitmapInfo.rawValue)!;

    ctx.concatenate(transform)

    if ( self.imageOrientation == .left ||
        self.imageOrientation == .leftMirrored ||
        self.imageOrientation == .right ||
        self.imageOrientation == .rightMirrored ) {
        ctx.draw(self.cgImage!, in: CGRect(x: 0.0,y: 0.0,width: self.size.height,height: self.size.width))
    } else {
        ctx.draw(self.cgImage!, in: CGRect(x: 0.0,y: 0.0,width: self.size.width,height: self.size.height))
    }

    // And now we just create a new UIImage from the drawing context and return it
    return UIImage(cgImage: ctx.makeImage()!)
}
