I am using an imageView and it contains different images, but some images are stretched. How do I display the images without any stretch? I have set the contentMode to aspect fit. However, the images are not in the size of the imageView, and it is in different sizes. I want to show the images as the same size without stretching.
imageview1 = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 10, 190, 190)];
imageview1.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
imageview1.clipsToBounds = YES;
Please try setting content mode before setting frame like below
imageview1.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
imageview1 = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 10, 190, 190)];
imageview1.clipsToBounds = YES;
If you want to display each image without stretching and of same size, than set contentMode property of UIImageView's instance to UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill. For instance-
imageview1 = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(30, 10, 190, 190)];
imageview1.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
imageview1.clipsToBounds = YES;
UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill, will fill the entire area of image view, keeping the aspect ratio intact. In the process of filling entire image view, either vertical or horizontal length will be fully covered and the filling will continue till the time other dimension is fully filled. In the process, your content(either across vertical or horizontal) will be visible outside the frame. To clip this extra content we have set clipsToBounds property of image view to YES.
UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit, will fill the image view's area till the time any one length either vertical or horizontal is fully filled keeping the aspect ratio intact. Its useful, if you are not required to show each image as same size as the other direction (if vertical is fully filled than horizontal or vice versa), is not fully covered. Since this will show blank spaces in the direction which is not fully covered.

I've got a UIImageView which has a height greater than its UIImage. It is scaling the image to it's width, but since it's height is greater, it is showing the rest of the UIImageView as transparent (what you would expect from UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit, which is what the UIImageView's contentMode is set to)
However, it is making the top and bottom of the UIImage transparent, basically, positioning the image in the center of itself. How can I get it to position itself at the top? When I use UIViewContentModeTop, it makes the image too large, so that doesn't work for me. I want some sort of way to scale it just as it does with UIVIewContentModeScaleAspectFill but tell it to also position the scaled image at the top of itself. Anyone have any ideas on how to do that?
I would also be able to fix the issue by just trimming the UIImageView's height to be equal to what the UIImage is once it's been stretched to the boundaries of its superview, but that seems like a more complex solution.
try something like,
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed#"yourImageName.jpeg"];
yourImageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
yourImageView.clipsToBounds = YES;
[yourImageView setImage:img];
I have a view where I need to place an UIImageView, and I was told to place it inside a rectangle that takes the screen width and its height is smaller than width (fixed size). However, the images I've been given are more or less square jpeg images, so the idea is to fill the width of the rectangle that should contain the image and set the height of the image in a way that its aspect ratio is kept. Then, I should be able to let the user scroll the image vertically to see the complete image.
How could I do this?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I need to do this for several images that have different sizes, but that should fit the same rectangular area size within the view
You can set imageview content mode.
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
This will make sure that the image is displayed by keeping original aspect ratio.
Edit:
I think this is what you wanted:
UIImage *originalImage = [UIImage imageNamed:[picArr objectAtIndex:a]];
double width = originalImage.size.width;
double height = originalImage.size.height;
double apect = width/height;
double nHeight = 320.f/ apect;
self.img.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, nHeight);
self.img.center = self.view.center;
self.img.image = originalImage;
Hope this helps.. :)
This how I add an image:
UIImageView *imageHolder = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:
CGRectMake((self.view.frame.size.width/2) - (290/2),(self.view.frame.size.height) - (140 * 1.8), 290, 140)];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"no-pins.png"];
imageHolder.image = image;
imageHolder.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
// optional:
// [imageHolder sizeToFit];
[self.view addSubview:imageHolder];
The size of the image (retina version) is exactly the same size as in CGRectMake above. However the image is a little blurred. I only can reduce the blur when I edit the image and give it a higher resolution in photoshop.
But images that I add through storyboard are all fine in quality. Any ideas what might be wrong?
For retina graphics, the image size should be twice the size of the frame of the image view. This allows the image to use a scale of 2 to take advantage of the retina screen capability. So, you should have one image of size 290x140 (if you are supporting non-retina devices) and one image of size 580x280 (this is the #2x image).
The frame of the view is the description of the position and size of the view within the view hierarchy (in terms of the superview coordinate system). If you have fractional values in the frame size or position you can get 'blurring' effects.
I set the image of a UIImageView to an image that is 1024x1024, and as a result a lot of the image is not visible, especially width wise, and cut off the edges of the screen.
I tried using clipsToBounds:
UIImageView *imageFromLink = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:responseObject];
imageFromLink.clipsToBounds = YES;
[darkOverlayView addSubview:imageFromLink];
But it doesn't seem to do anything, and the image is still too big for the view.
You're going to want to change the contentMode property for the desired effect. UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill is most likely what you'll want.
You have the set the image view's frame to the size you want. By default it will be the size of the image.
UIImageView *imageFromLink = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:responseObject];
imageFromLink.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
imageFromLink.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, desiredWidth, desiredHeight);
[darkOverlayView addSubview:imageFromLink];
Also set the contentMode so the image is scaled properly in the smaller image view.
You should set the imageview's frame equal to the container's bounds.
UIImageView *imageFromLink = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:responseObject];
imageFromLink.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
imageFromLink.frame = darkOverlayView.bounds;
[darkOverlayView addSubview:imageFromLink];
I have an UIView that contains a UIImageView. The UIImageViews works like the branding logo of the app. When I rotate the device, the containing UIView resizes itself to correspond to the landscape or portrait proportions of the screen.
What I'm trying to achieve is to have the UIImageView scaled accordingly, keeping proportions also on the left margin.
This is the actual code for the top white "banner":
UIView *topBanner = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, height_topBanner)];
[topBanner setAutoresizingMask:(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin)];
[topBanner setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
topBanner.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
// the logo
UIImage *topBanner_logo = [UIImage imageNamed:#"logo.png"];
float logoAspectRatio = topBanner_logo.size.width/topBanner_logo.size.height;
topBanner_logoView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(topBanner.frame.size.width/100*3, topBanner.frame.size.height/100*7, (topBanner.frame.size.height/100*86)*logoAspectRatio, topBanner.frame.size.height/100*86)];
[topBanner_logoView setImage:topBanner_logo];
topBanner_logoView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
topBanner_logoView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
[topBanner_logoView setAutoresizingMask:(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin)];
[topBanner addSubview:topBanner_logoView];
[self.view addSubview:topBanner];
This is my starting point: portrait iPad on startup:
This is what happens when I rotate it in landscape:
As you can see, the proportions of the UIImage are ok, but I'm getting extra borders (I set the background color of the UIImageView to highlight it) because the UIImageView stretches itself to follow the change of the size of its container, and the UIImage is fit into the UIImageView and put on its center.
The same - reversed - happens when I start the app directly in landscape mode:
Then I rotate it:
... and I get the logo with extra borders on top and bottom.
I do see that I can write a function to recalculate every size on each rotation change, but I'm asking to myself if is there a way to set the UIImageView and the UIImage to make it works without hacking the autorotate/resize procedures of iOS. It sounds so simple!
You can solve this by not using UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit, and instead calculating the aspect ratio of the image and using that to explicitly the width or height based on the other (width or height).
e.g. I rotate to landscape, and so I want the height to be 80% of the view.
CGFloat w = logo.image.size.width;
CGFloat h = logo.image.size.height;
CGFloat a = w / h;
CGFloat h_use = self.view.height *0.8;
CGFloat w_use = h_use*a;
Furthermore, set the content mode to UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill instead now that you've explicitly set the aspect ratio.
You have set the auto resizing mask to flexible height and width:
[topBanner_logoView setAutoresizingMask:(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleLeftMargin|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleRightMargin)];
If you do not do that, the default is that the view will not chance size, and therefore, the image will not either.
I think it is because of topBanner_logoView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
Try topBanner_logoView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeCenter or topBanner_logoView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeLeft to prevent the UIImageView's image from resizing (and getting padding).
If the UIImageView is resizing, remove the autoresizing mask.
