I have been struggling resizing an image. Basically I have stumpled upon: How to scale down a UIImage and make it crispy / sharp at the same time instead of blurry?
This seems to be a legit solution but somehow it is not working correctly.
My app works with Photos from the Camera Roll. This photos should be resized to about 200x200 whereas the width is important, not the height.
Unfortunetly I am not having a sample code as I discarded it in my rage about non working solution, sorry.
Here is my code. The Image is in width 850 px and not 200 px:
func resizeImage(image: UIImage, newWidth: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
let scale = newWidth / image.size.width
let newHeight = image.size.height * scale
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(newWidth, newHeight))
image.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight))
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
@IBAction func chooseImage(sender: AnyObject) {
var myPickerController = UIImagePickerController()
myPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
myPickerController.delegate = self;
self.presentViewController(myPickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject])
{
var imagenow = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage
imageImage.image = resizeImage(imagenow!, newWidth: 200)
pimg2 = imageImage.image!
cidnew2 = textFieldCID!.text!
pname2 = textFieldName!.text
pmanu2 = textFieldMan!.text
pnick2 = textFieldNick!.text
podate2 = textFieldPODate!.text
pno2 = textFieldArtNo!.text
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
