Simple I have UIImageView icon with two people and it looks like this:
but when I set tintColor to red it looks like this:
Is there any way to avoid covering every non zero-alpha pixel? I need to show the tie really there. One time I need people red, other time green.
The icon is simple png file. Rounded circle is simple background color of UIImageView. So the part of the image with tie cannot be zero-alpha.
Is there any way to achieve such effect WITHOUT creating images for every color?
This was similar to another idea I had been playing around with, so I did a little more fiddling...
Starting with these 3 images:
and then using them as .withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate) to give the desired colors... and then layering them via CALayer to get:
and an "exploded" view for clarity...
Create an image where the "people" are 100% transparent - effectively "holes" in the image.
Set the background color of the UIImageView to be the "fill" color.
You can still mask it with a circle (CAShapeLayer, for example), if you don't want a white bounding-box as part of the image.
Original images:

Use the CISpotColor filter:
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/CoreImageFilterReference/#//apple_ref/doc/filter/ci/CISpotColor
This allows you to specify a color in your image that is to be changed into another color. Thus, since you know the original color of the tie and the background, you can change either of them, or both, in a single move.

I use canvas.drawImageRect to draw an image to a canvas.
The image itself is just white with transparency, but I want it to have another color. I tried creating a Paint with the color set to yellow but that didn't made the image appear yellow.
I guess there is a way to do this, can anyone tell me?
Create a Paint and add a ColorFilter.
ColorFilter.mode(Color color, BlendMode blendMode)
Creates a color filter that applies the blend mode given as the second argument. The source color is the one given as the first argument, and the destination color is the one from the layer being composited.
I think you want srcATop BlendMode.
I have a view like this :
The left back button & the right button is basically two white image (set in UIButton) with a particular opacity. Now it's look more or less visible on this background cover photo.
But if I change the background cover photo with something else, where the opacity & color of that cover image is closer to the two button's image, then it's difficult to see those two button.
Like this:
So I just wondering, Is there any way, so that I can detect the color of my cover image and I can change those two buttons image or color according to it?
Any kind of reference or guidance would be very much appreciable.
I think you can use this function to determinate how light/dark is the background. Calculate an average of several pixel under your button.
Have fun! :D
I am trying to make Apple kind of shape for progressHUD. I have option to use .png Image but I cant because I have to fill the apple Shape with different colour depends of percentage status.. I am using UIView to draw this shape...
I want suggestion how to draw apple kind of shape easily?
And How we can fill half colour with different colour?
I have option to use .png Image but I cant
Yes, you can. — Get hold of some apple-shaped artwork. Use it as a mask - it punches a hole in a view. Now put another view behind it, with a color. Now the apple appears to be that color, because that color is being seen through the apple-shaped hole. Now put another view behind it, with a different color, and move it up or across the right amount so as to divide what's seen through the apple into two colors.
Using that approach, it took me about 30 seconds to create this result (using your apple-shaped artwork as a .png image!):
Hello: Currently in my project, I'm using OBShapedButton to process touches on a lot of objects that overlap (it's a map with each territory its own separate object). Basically, this library prevents a touch from being processed on a transparent point on the given view.
I'm attempting to add a border effect to just the edges of the opaque part of the UIImage (and adding a semi-transparent overlay above that). Something to the effect of this:
Which can be simplified to this (example of one image):
I am currently using MGImageUtilities to color in the opaque parts of territories using this line:
[territory setImage:[[territory image] imageTintedWithColor:tint]];
The problem is that I'm not sure how to just color the borders (which can be any shape). I've looked at this link already, but haven't been able to come up with anything.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Terribly hacky, but use MGImageUtilities' UIImage+ProportionalFill with scale resizing to create a slightly larger image, UIImage+Tint to red, and stack below.
The library you are using doesn't actually specify a shape layer. It uses alpha values from the PNGs that you give it.
Could you use a different 'highlighted' or 'selected' PNG that adds the border effect you are looking for?
Otherwise, it you will have to generate a UIBezierPath from your PNG image, which sounds like a very computationally intensive operation. At that point, I might question whether this library meets your needs.
For example, I have a transparent png file, the shape is a car.
In the png file, I only draw the white border shape.
Outside and inside the border are all transparent.
I want to use actionscript3 code to show the car object with different color, it means only fill color inside the border, and for the outside of the border, keep transparent.
How to do that?
So far, the simplest workaround is to prepare many images with PhotoShop, but it's not good enough for me. When I have many shapes and use many colors, I've to prepare many many images.
Add more details:
(Because I'm using white border, you may not see the basic png file if your background of browser is white)
Change my boarder of shape to black, hope this is helpful to understand my question.
Since you're working with loaded images/pixels you can make use of BitmapData's floodFill() which pretty much does what you need. There's an example in bellow the method description as well.
It does pretty much what you need, although in some cases it might not be perfect. It's worth having a look at Jan's optimizing the floodFill() method article which goes more in depth.
A simple solution is to use multiple layers. The top layer would contain just the border. The lower layer would contain just the car with no border. You can adjust the colour of the car layer using a ColorTransform or ColorMatrixFilter.
