I want to make a UIView or UIImageView that is a circle. Or a circle that i can change the size of using a slider, and the color of with a pickerview.
As mentioned in some comments, @IBDesignable makes this much easier now, so you can use Interface Builder to configure your rounded UIImageView.
First create a class named RoundedImageView.swift
and paste this code to it:
import UIKit
@IBDesignable public class RoundedImageView: UIImageView {
override public func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
//hard-coded this since it's always round
layer.cornerRadius = 0.5 * bounds.size.width
}
}
Select the UIImageView in InterfaceBuilder and change the class from UIImageView to the custom RoundedImageView:
Set Clip to Bounds
to true (or the pic will extend beyond the circle):
It should now round itself right there in InterfaceBuilder, which is pretty nifty. Be sure to set the width and height to the same values or it'll be shaped like a zeppelin!
