I am unable to rotate the image by 90 degrees in swift. I have written below code but there is an error and doesn't compile
func imageRotatedByDegrees(oldImage: UIImage, deg degrees: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
//Calculate the size of the rotated view's containing box for our drawing space
let rotatedViewBox: UIView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: oldImage.size.width, height: oldImage.size.height))
let t: CGAffineTransform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: degrees * CGFloat(M_PI / 180))
rotatedViewBox.transform = t
let rotatedSize: CGSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size
//Create the bitmap context
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize)
let bitmap: CGContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
//Move the origin to the middle of the image so we will rotate and scale around the center.
bitmap.translateBy(x: rotatedSize.width / 2, y: rotatedSize.height / 2)
//Rotate the image context
bitmap.rotate(by: (degrees * CGFloat(M_PI / 180)))
//Now, draw the rotated/scaled image into the context
bitmap.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
bitmap.draw(oldImage, in: CGRect(origin: (x: -oldImage.size.width / 2, y: -oldImage.size.height / 2, width: oldImage.size.width, height: oldImage.size.height), size: oldImage.cgImage))
let newImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
below is the code i am not sure about
bitmap.draw(oldImage, in: CGRect(origin: (x: -oldImage.size.width / 2, y: -oldImage.size.height / 2, width: oldImage.size.width, height: oldImage.size.height), size: oldImage.cgImage))
This is an extension of UIImage
that targets Swift 4.0 and can rotate just the image without the need for a UIImageView
. Tested successfully that the image was rotated, and not just had its exif data changed.
import UIKit
extension UIImage {
func rotate(radians: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
let rotatedSize = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)
.applying(CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: CGFloat(radians)))
.integral.size
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize)
if let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() {
let origin = CGPoint(x: rotatedSize.width / 2.0,
y: rotatedSize.height / 2.0)
context.translateBy(x: origin.x, y: origin.y)
context.rotate(by: radians)
draw(in: CGRect(x: -origin.y, y: -origin.x,
width: size.width, height: size.height))
let rotatedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return rotatedImage ?? self
}
return self
}
}
To perform a 180 degree rotation, you can call it like this:
let rotatedImage = image.rotate(radians: .pi)
If for whatever reason it fails to rotate, the original image will then be returned.
