I am new to swift and trying to achieve this essentially,
This image to
This image ->
I am using this code from here to change the tint on image but do not get the desired output
func tint(image: UIImage, color: UIColor) -> UIImage
{
let ciImage = CIImage(image: image)
let filter = CIFilter(name: "CIMultiplyCompositing")
let colorFilter = CIFilter(name: "CIConstantColorGenerator")
let ciColor = CIColor(color: color)
colorFilter.setValue(ciColor, forKey: kCIInputColorKey)
let colorImage = colorFilter.outputImage
filter.setValue(colorImage, forKey: kCIInputImageKey)
filter.setValue(ciImage, forKey: kCIInputBackgroundImageKey)
return UIImage(CIImage: filter.outputImage)!
}
If this is a noob question, apologies. I was able to do this easily in javascript but not in swift.
hi you can use it the following way. First the UIImage Extension that you used needs some updates.
you can copy the code below for Swift 3
extension UIImage{
func tint(color: UIColor, blendMode: CGBlendMode) -> UIImage
{
let drawRect = CGRect(x: 0,y: 0,width: size.width,height: size.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
color.setFill()
UIRectFill(drawRect)
draw(in: drawRect, blendMode: blendMode, alpha: 1.0)
let tintedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return tintedImage!
}
}
Then in your viewDidLoad where you are using the image
for example i used the image from IBOutlet imageWood
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.imageWood.image = self.imageWood.image?.tint(color: UIColor.green, blendMode: .saturation)
}
You will have to use the appropriate color and the images
The other Extension i found
extension UIImage {
// colorize image with given tint color
// this is similar to Photoshop's "Color" layer blend mode
// this is perfect for non-greyscale source images, and images that have both highlights and shadows that should be preserved
// white will stay white and black will stay black as the lightness of the image is preserved
func tint(_ tintColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
return modifiedImage { context, rect in
// draw black background - workaround to preserve color of partially transparent pixels
context.setBlendMode(.normal)
UIColor.black.setFill()
context.fill(rect)
// draw original image
context.setBlendMode(.normal)
context.draw(self.cgImage!, in: rect)
// tint image (loosing alpha) - the luminosity of the original image is preserved
context.setBlendMode(.color)
tintColor.setFill()
context.fill(rect)
// mask by alpha values of original image
context.setBlendMode(.destinationIn)
context.draw(self.cgImage!, in: rect)
}
}
// fills the alpha channel of the source image with the given color
// any color information except to the alpha channel will be ignored
func fillAlpha(_ fillColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
return modifiedImage { context, rect in
// draw tint color
context.setBlendMode(.normal)
fillColor.setFill()
context.fill(rect)
// mask by alpha values of original image
context.setBlendMode(.destinationIn)
context.draw(self.cgImage!, in: rect)
}
}
fileprivate func modifiedImage(_ draw: (CGContext, CGRect) -> ()) -> UIImage {
// using scale correctly preserves retina images
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
let context: CGContext! = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
assert(context != nil)
// correctly rotate image
context.translateBy(x: 0, y: size.height);
context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0);
let rect = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: size.width, height: size.height)
draw(context, rect)
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image!
}
}
Using it like this
self.imageWood.image = self.imageWood.image?.tint(UIColor.purple.withAlphaComponent(1))
Try the below code, should work for you.
if let myImage = UIImage(named: "imageName")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate) {
myImageView.image = myImage
myImageView.tintColor = UIColor.white
}
Your image is simple and only has one color. I would suggest making your image transparent except where the lines are, and then layer it on top of a white background to get your results.
It looks like you got the results you're after using drawing modes. There are also a number of Core image filters that let you apply tinting effects to images, as well as replacing specific colors. Those would be a good choice for more complex images.
I'm receiving image from a server, then based on a color chosen by the user, the image color will be changed.
I tried the following :
_sketchImageView.image = [_sketchImageView.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
[_sketchImageView setTintColor:color];
i got the opposite of my goal (the white color outside UIImage is colored with the chosen color).
what is going wrong?
i need to do the same in this question,the provided solution doesn't solve my case.
How can I change image tintColor in iOS and WatchKit
Try to generate new image for yourself
UIImage *newImage = [_sketchImageView.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, NO, newImage.scale);
[yourTintColor set];
[newImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, newImage.size.height)];
newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
_sketchImageView.image = newImage;
And use it.
Good luck
======= UPDATE =======
This solution will only change color of all pixel's image.
Example: we have a book image: http://pngimg.com/upload/book_PNG2113.png
And after running above code (exp: TintColor is RED). We have:
SO: how your image is depends on how you designed it
In Swift you can use this extension: [Based on #VietHung's objective-c solution]
Swift 5:
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
var image = withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
color.set()
image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
}
Previous Swift version:
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
var image = imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysTemplate)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
color.set()
image.drawInRect(CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
}
In swift 2.0 you can use this
let image = UIImage(named:"your image name")?.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysTemplate)
let yourimageView.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
yourimageView.image = image
In swift 3.0 you can use this
let image = UIImage(named:"your image name")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
let yourimageView.tintColor = UIColor.red
yourimageView.image = image
Try something like this
UIImage *originalImage = _sketchImageView.image
UIImage *newImage = [originalImage imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,50,50)]; // your image size
imageView.tintColor = [UIColor redColor]; // or whatever color that has been selected
imageView.image = newImage;
_sketchImageView.image = imageView.image;
Hope this helps.
In Swift 3.0 you can use this extension: [Based on #VietHung's objective-c solution]
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(_ color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
var image = imageWithRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
color.set()
image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
}
For Swift 3.0, I made a custom subclass of UIImageView called TintedUIImageView. Now the image uses whatever tint color is set in interface builder or code
class TintedUIImageView: UIImageView {
override func awakeFromNib() {
if let image = self.image {
self.image = image.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
}
}
}
You can try:
_sketchImageView.image = [self imageNamed:#"imageName" withColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
- (UIImage *)imageNamed:(NSString *)name withColor:(UIColor *)color
{
// load the image
//NSString *name = #"badge.png";
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:name];
// begin a new image context, to draw our colored image onto
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(img.size);
// get a reference to that context we created
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// set the fill color
[color setFill];
// translate/flip the graphics context (for transforming from CG* coords to UI* coords
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, img.size.height);
CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
// set the blend mode to color burn, and the original image
CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeColorBurn);
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, img.size.width, img.size.height);
CGContextDrawImage(context, rect, img.CGImage);
// set a mask that matches the shape of the image, then draw (color burn) a colored rectangle
CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, img.CGImage);
CGContextAddRect(context, rect);
CGContextDrawPath(context,kCGPathFill);
// generate a new UIImage from the graphics context we drew onto
UIImage *coloredImg = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
//return the color-burned image
return coloredImg;
}
Try setting the tint color on the superview of the image view. E.g. [self.view setTintColor:color];
in Swift 4 you can simply make an extension like that:
import UIKit
extension UIImageView {
func tintImageColor(color: UIColor) {
guard let image = image else { return }
self.image = image.withRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.alwaysTemplate)
self.tintColor = color
}
}
- SWIFT 4
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(_ color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
var image: UIImage? = withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
color.set()
image?.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
}
Here's how I apply and use tints in IOS 9 with Swift.
//apply a color to an image

//ref - https://www.captechconsulting.com/blogs/ios-7-tutorial-series-tint-color-and-easy-app-theming
func getTintedImage() -> UIImageView {
var image : UIImage;
var imageView : UIImageView;
image = UIImage(named: "someAsset")!;
let size : CGSize = image.size;
let frame : CGRect = CGRectMake((UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width-86)/2, 600, size.width, size.height);
let redCover : UIView = UIView(frame: frame);
redCover.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor();
redCover.layer.opacity = 0.75;
imageView = UIImageView();
imageView.image = image.imageWithRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.Automatic);
imageView.addSubview(redCover);
return imageView;
}
One thing you can do is, just add your images to Assets folder in XCode and then change the rendering mode to Template Image, so whenever you change the tint color of UIImageView, it will automatically makes change to image.

let image = UIImage(named: "i m a g e n a m e")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
imageView.tintColor = UIColor.white // Change to require color
imageView.image = image
Try this
iOS 13.4 and above
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"placeHolderIcon"];
[image imageWithTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor] renderingMode: UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
Environment:
- Xcode 6 beta 4
- Swift language
- iOS Tabbed Application (default xCode project)
How can I change the default grey color of the tabs to something else? (Preferably globally)
As far as my research goes I need to somehow change the image rendering mode for each tab to Original rendering mode however I don't know how
Each (default) tab bar item consists of text and icon. It is pretty easy to change the text colors globally by specifying the appearance:
// you can add this code to you AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
// or add it to viewDidLoad method of your TabBarController class
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.magentaColor()], forState:.Normal)
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.redColor()], forState:.Selected)
With images situation is a little bit more complicated. You cannot define their appearance globally. You should redefine them in your TabBarController class. Add code bellow to viewDidLoad method of your TabBarController class:
for item in self.tabBar.items as [UITabBarItem] {
if let image = item.image {
item.image = image.imageWithColor(UIColor.yellowColor()).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
}
}
As we know there is no imageWithColor(...) method in UIImage class. So here is the extension implementation:
// Add anywhere in your app
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() as CGContextRef
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height)
CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
CGContextSetBlendMode(context, .Normal)
let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height) as CGRect
CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage)
tintColor.setFill()
CGContextFillRect(context, rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() as UIImage
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
}
imageWithColor was borrowed from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24545102/3050466
I don't have enough reputation for commenting the comments, but many are interested how to change the color of selected image
just add another if let check after
if let image = item.image
just like this:
if let selectedImage = item.selectedImage {
item.selectedImage = selectedImage.imageWithColor(UIColor.yellowColor()).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
}
this solved the problem perfectly.
And a little addition, since Swift 1.2 and Xcode 6.3.2 you need
for item in self.tabBar.items as! [UITabBarItem]
instead of
for item in self.tabBar.items as [UITabBarItem]
Hope that helps!
Swift 2.0
To change the default color for tab bar images, Add code bellow to viewDidLoad method of your TabBarController class:
for item in self.tabBar.items! as [UITabBarItem] {
if let image = item.image {
item.image = image.imageWithColor(UIColor.yellowColor()).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
}
}
Update the imageWithColor extension. Used with the above method and should be placed outside of your TabBarController class:
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()! as CGContextRef
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height)
CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
CGContextSetBlendMode(context, CGBlendMode.Normal)
let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height) as CGRect
CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage)
tintColor.setFill()
CGContextFillRect(context, rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() as UIImage
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
}
No changes to the way text gets coloured but just for reference. Also should be added the code bellow to viewDidLoad:
// you can add this code to you AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
// or add it to viewDidLoad method of your TabBarController class
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.magentaColor()], forState:.Normal)
UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.redColor()], forState:.Selected)
Swift 3.0
To change the default color for tab bar images, Add code bellow to viewDidLoad method of your TabBarController class:
for item in self.tabBar.items! as [UITabBarItem] {
if let image = item.image {
item.image = image.imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor.yellow).withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
}
}
Update the imageWithColor extension. Used with the above method and should be placed outside of your TabBarController class:
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(tintColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()! as CGContext
context.translateBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height)
context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0);
context.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.normal)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height)
context.clip(to: rect, mask: self.cgImage!)
tintColor.setFill()
context.fill(rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()! as UIImage
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
}
I have an UIImageView called "theImageView", with UIImage in a single color (transparent background) just like the left black heart below. How can I change the tint color of this image programmatically in iOS 7 or above, as per the tint method used in the iOS 7+ Navigation Bar icons?
Can this method also work in WatchKit for an Apple Watch app?
iOS
For an iOS app, in Swift 3, 4 or 5:
theImageView.image = theImageView.image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
theImageView.tintColor = UIColor.red
For Swift 2:
theImageView.image = theImageView.image?.imageWithRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.AlwaysTemplate)
theImageView.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
Meanwhile, the modern Objective-C solution is:
theImageView.image = [theImageView.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
[theImageView setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
Watchkit
In WatchKit for Apple Watch apps, you can set the tint color for a template image.
You must add your image to an Asset Catalog in your WatchKit App, and set the image set to be rendered as a Template Image in the Attributes Inspector. Unlike for an iPhone app, you cannot set the template rendering in code in the WatchKit Extension at present.
Set that image to be used in your WKInterfaceImage in interface builder for your app
Create an IBOutlet in your WKInterfaceController for the WKInterfaceImage called 'theImage'...
To then set the tint color in Swift 3 or 4:
theImage.setTintColor(UIColor.red)
Swift 2:
theImage.setTintColor(UIColor.redColor())
To then set the tint color in Objective-C:
[self.theImage setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
If you use a template image and do not apply a tint colour, the Global Tint for your WatchKit app will be applied. If you have not set a Global Tint, theImage will be tinted light blue by default when used as a template image.
Here's a category that should do the trick
#interface UIImage(Overlay)
#end
#implementation UIImage(Overlay)
- (UIImage *)imageWithColor:(UIColor *)color1
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, NO, self.scale);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height);
CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeNormal);
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height);
CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage);
[color1 setFill];
CGContextFillRect(context, rect);
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
}
#end
so you would do:
theImageView.image = [theImageView.image imageWithColor:[UIColor redColor]];
I had to do this in Swift using an extension.
I thought I'd share how I did it:
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(color1: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
color1.setFill()
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() as CGContextRef
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height)
CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);
CGContextSetBlendMode(context, CGBlendMode.Normal)
let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height) as CGRect
CGContextClipToMask(context, rect, self.CGImage)
CGContextFillRect(context, rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() as UIImage
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
}
Usage:
theImageView.image = theImageView.image.imageWithColor(UIColor.redColor())
Swift 4
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(color1: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
color1.setFill()
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
context?.translateBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height)
context?.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
context?.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.normal)
let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height))
context?.clip(to: rect, mask: self.cgImage!)
context?.fill(rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
}
Usage:
theImageView.image = theImageView.image?.imageWithColor(color1: UIColor.red)
In storyboard and image Assets. you can change this two also:
Update the Render Mode to Template Image
Update the tint Color in Views.
If anyone care a solution without UIImageView:
// (Swift 3)
extension UIImage {
func tint(with color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
var image = withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
color.set()
image.draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
}
Swift 4
Change tint of UIImage SVG / PDF, that work for image with unique color :
import Foundation
// MARK: - UIImage extensions
public extension UIImage {
//
/// Tint Image
///
/// - Parameter fillColor: UIColor
/// - Returns: Image with tint color
func tint(with fillColor: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
let image = withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
fillColor.set()
image.draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
guard let imageColored = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() else {
return nil
}
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return imageColored
}
}
Change tint of UIImageView, that work for image with unique color :
let imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 50, y: 50, width: 50, height: 50))
imageView.image = UIImage(named: "hello.png")!.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
imageView.tintColor = .yellow
Change tint of UIImage for picture, use that :
import Foundation
// MARK: - Extensions UIImage
public extension UIImage {
/// Tint, Colorize image with given tint color
/// This is similar to Photoshop's "Color" layer blend mode
/// This is perfect for non-greyscale source images, and images that
/// have both highlights and shadows that should be preserved<br><br>
/// white will stay white and black will stay black as the lightness of
/// the image is preserved
///
/// - Parameter TintColor: Tint color
/// - Returns: Tinted image
public func tintImage(with fillColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
return modifiedImage { context, rect in
// draw black background - workaround to preserve color of partially transparent pixels
context.setBlendMode(.normal)
UIColor.black.setFill()
context.fill(rect)
// draw original image
context.setBlendMode(.normal)
context.draw(cgImage!, in: rect)
// tint image (loosing alpha) - the luminosity of the original image is preserved
context.setBlendMode(.color)
fillColor.setFill()
context.fill(rect)
// mask by alpha values of original image
context.setBlendMode(.destinationIn)
context.draw(context.makeImage()!, in: rect)
}
}
/// Modified Image Context, apply modification on image
///
/// - Parameter draw: (CGContext, CGRect) -> ())
/// - Returns: UIImage
fileprivate func modifiedImage(_ draw: (CGContext, CGRect) -> ()) -> UIImage {
// using scale correctly preserves retina images
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
let context: CGContext! = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
assert(context != nil)
// correctly rotate image
context.translateBy(x: 0, y: size.height)
context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: size.width, height: size.height)
draw(context, rect)
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image!
}
}
With Swift
let commentImageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100))
commentImageView.image = UIImage(named: "myimage.png")!.imageWithRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingMode.AlwaysTemplate)
commentImageView.tintColor = UIColor.blackColor()
addSubview(commentImageView)
For swift 3 purposes
theImageView.image = theImageView.image!.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
theImageView.tintColor = UIColor.red
Here's a simple extension that works for Swift 5:
extension UIImageView {
func setImageTintColor(_ color: UIColor) {
let tintedImage = self.image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
self.image = tintedImage
self.tintColor = color
}
}
Usage:
myImageView.setImageTintColor(.systemBlue)
Also, for the above answers, in iOS 13 and later there is a clean way
let image = UIImage(named: "imageName")?.withTintColor(.white, renderingMode: .alwaysTemplate)
Try this
http://robots.thoughtbot.com/designing-for-ios-blending-modes
or
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 30, 300, 50)];
label.numberOfLines = 0;
label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:13];
label.text = #"These checkmarks use the same gray checkmark image with a tintColor applied to the image view";
[self.view addSubview:label];
[self _createImageViewAtY:100 color:[UIColor purpleColor]];
}
- (void)_createImageViewAtY:(int)y color:(UIColor *)color {
UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"gray checkmark.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
CGRect frame = imageView.frame;
frame.origin.x = 100;
frame.origin.y = y;
imageView.frame = frame;
if (color)
imageView.tintColor = color;
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
}
For tinting the image of a UIButton
let image1 = "ic_shopping_cart_empty"
btn_Basket.setImage(UIImage(named: image1)?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate), for: .normal)
btn_Basket.setImage(UIImage(named: image1)?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate), for: .selected)
btn_Basket.imageView?.tintColor = UIColor(UIColor.Red)
iOS
Solution for doing it from Interface Builder, set templateImage param in keyPath and choose your tint color from IB
extension UIImageView {
// make template image with tint color
var templateImage: Bool {
set {
if newValue, let image = self.image {
let newImage = image.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
self.image = newImage
}
} get {
return false
}
}
}
Take benefit of Extension in Swift :-
extension UIImageView {
func changeImageColor( color:UIColor) -> UIImage
{
image = image!.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
tintColor = color
return image!
}
}
//Change color of logo
logoImage.image = logoImage.changeImageColor(color: .red)
Swift 3 version of extension answer from fuzz
func imageWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
color.setFill()
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()! as CGContext
context.translateBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height)
context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0);
context.setBlendMode(.normal)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height) as CGRect
context.clip(to: rect, mask: self.cgImage!)
context.fill(rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()! as UIImage
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
With iOS 13 and above, you can simply use
let image = UIImage(named: "Heart")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
imageView.image = image?.withTintColor(UIColor.white)
}
There is a native method for UIImage since iOS 13
let image = yourImage.withTintColor(.systemRed)
This is my UIImage extension and you can directly use changeTintColor function for an image.
extension UIImage {
func changeTintColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
var newImage = self.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, newImage.scale)
color.set()
newImage.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height))
newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
func changeColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
let backgroundSize = self.size
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(backgroundSize)
guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else {
return self
}
var backgroundRect = CGRect()
backgroundRect.size = backgroundSize
backgroundRect.origin.x = 0
backgroundRect.origin.y = 0
var red: CGFloat = 0
var green: CGFloat = 0
var blue: CGFloat = 0
var alpha: CGFloat = 0
color.getRed(&red, green: &green, blue: &blue, alpha: &alpha)
context.setFillColor(red: red, green: green, blue: blue, alpha: alpha)
context.translateBy(x: 0, y: backgroundSize.height)
context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
context.clip(to: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height),
mask: self.cgImage!)
context.fill(backgroundRect)
var imageRect = CGRect()
imageRect.size = self.size
imageRect.origin.x = (backgroundSize.width - self.size.width) / 2
imageRect.origin.y = (backgroundSize.height - self.size.height) / 2
context.setBlendMode(.multiply)
context.draw(self.cgImage!, in: imageRect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
}
Example usage like this
let image = UIImage(named: "sample_image")
imageView.image = image.changeTintColor(color: UIColor.red)
And you can use change changeColor function to change the image color
Swift 5
Redrawing image with background and fill color
extension UIImage {
func withBackground(color: UIColor, fill fillColor: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, true, scale)
guard let ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), let image = cgImage else { return self }
defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }
ctx.concatenate(CGAffineTransform(a: 1, b: 0, c: 0, d: -1, tx: 0, ty: size.height))
let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)
// draw background
ctx.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
ctx.fill(rect)
// draw image with fill color
ctx.clip(to: rect, mask: image)
ctx.setFillColor(fillColor.cgColor)
ctx.fill(rect)
return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() ?? self
}
}
Now i use this method based in Duncan Babbage response:
+ (UIImageView *) tintImageView: (UIImageView *)imageView withColor: (UIColor*) color{
imageView.image = [imageView.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
[imageView setTintColor:color];
return imageView;
}
You can use this in Swift 3 if you have an image to replace the clear button
func addTextfieldRightView(){
let rightViewWidth:CGFloat = 30
let viewMax = self.searchTxt.frame.height
let buttonMax = self.searchTxt.frame.height - 16
let buttonView = UIView(frame: CGRect(
x: self.searchTxt.frame.width - rightViewWidth,
y: 0,
width: viewMax,
height: viewMax))
let myButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(
x: (viewMax - buttonMax) / 2,
y: (viewMax - buttonMax) / 2,
width: buttonMax,
height: buttonMax))
myButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "BlueClear")!, for: .normal)
buttonView.addSubview(myButton)
let clearPressed = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(SearchVC.clearPressed(sender:)))
buttonView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
buttonView.addGestureRecognizer(clearPressed)
myButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(SearchVC.clearPressed(sender:)), for: .touchUpInside)
self.searchTxt.rightView = buttonView
self.searchTxt.rightViewMode = .whileEditing
}
Subclass which can be used from code and Interface Builder as well:
#implementation TintedImageView
- (instancetype)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
[self setup];
}
return self;
}
- (instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder {
self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
if (self) {
[self setup];
}
return self;
}
-(void)setup {
self.image = [self.image imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate];
}
#end
profileImageView.image = theImageView.image!.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
profileImageView.tintColor = UIColor.green
OR
First select Particular image in image asset and then select reddened as Template instead of Default and after that write line.
profileImageView.tintColor = UIColor.green
if you have any id for the SVG image, you can fill the colours with respect to the ID.
let image = SVGKImage(named: "iconName")
let svgIMGV = SVGKFastImageView(frame: self.imgView.frame)
svgIMGV.image = image
svgIMGV.fillTintColor(colorImage: UIColor.red, iconID: "Bank")
// Add in extension SVGKImageView
extension SVGKImageView {
func fillTintColor(colorImage: UIColor, iconID: String) {
if self.image != nil && self.image.caLayerTree != nil {
print(self.image.caLayerTree.sublayers)
guard let sublayers = self.image.caLayerTree.sublayers else { return }
fillRecursively(sublayers: sublayers, color: colorImage, iconID: iconID)
}
}
private func fillRecursively(sublayers: [CALayer], color: UIColor, iconID: String, hasFoundLayer: Bool) {
var isLayerFound = false
for layer in sublayers {
if let l = layer as? CAShapeLayer {
print(l.name)
//IF you want to color the specific shapelayer by id else remove the l.name == "myID" validation
if let name = l.name, hasFoundLayer == true && name == "myID" {
self.colorThatImageWIthColor(color: color, layer: l)
print("Colouring FInished")
}
} else {
if layer.name == iconID {
if let innerSublayer = layer.sublayers as? [CAShapeLayer] {
fillRecursively(sublayers: innerSublayer, color: color, iconID: iconID, hasFoundLayer: true )
print("FOund")
}
} else {
if let l = layer as? CALayer, let sub = l.sublayers {
fillRecursively(sublayers: sub, color: color, iconID: iconID, hasFoundLayer: false)
}
}
}
}
}
func colorThatImageWIthColor(color: UIColor, layer: CAShapeLayer) {
if layer.strokeColor != nil {
layer.strokeColor = color.cgColor
}
if layer.fillColor != nil {
layer.fillColor = color.cgColor
}
}
}
