Crop zoomed image in UIScrollView issue - ios

Question

After going through this link, issue with my code is that output image is unable to set proper x and y values as cropped image seems to have 0 and 0 in the resultant image irrespective to where I zoom (or where the scroll offset is calculated). Here's what I tried.
- (IBAction)crop:(id)sender
{
float zoomScale = 1.0f / [self.scroll zoomScale];
CGRect rect;
NSLog(#"contentOffset is :%f,%f",[self.scroll contentOffset].x,[self.scroll contentOffset].y);
rect.origin.x = self.scroll.contentOffset.x * zoomScale;
rect.origin.y = self.scroll.contentOffset.y * zoomScale;
rect.size.width = self.scroll.bounds.size.width * zoomScale;
rect.size.height = self.scroll.bounds.size.height * zoomScale;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions( CGSizeMake(rect.size.width, rect.size.height),
NO,
0.);
NSLog(#"rect offset is :%f,%f",rect.origin.x,rect.origin.y);
CGPoint point = CGPointMake(-rect.origin.x, -rect.origin.y); **//even though above NSLog have some values, but output image is unable to set proper x and y values as cropped image seems to have 0 and 0 in the resultant image.**
[[self.imagV image] drawAtPoint:point
blendMode:kCGBlendModeCopy
alpha:1];
self.croppedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
DTImageViewController *imageViewController = [[DTImageViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DTImageViewController" bundle:nil];
imageViewController.image = self.croppedImage;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:imageViewController animated:YES];
}

Answer 1

Similar code as already posted but just taking whole UIScrollView bounds without passing a CGRect
-(void)takeScreenShotOfScrollView
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(scrollView.bounds.size, YES, [UIScreen mainScreen].scale);
CGPoint offset = scrollView.contentOffset;
CGContextTranslateCTM(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), -offset.x, -offset.y);
[scrollView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
img = [SDImageHelper imageWithImage:img_image scaledToSize:CGSizeMake(769, 495)];
}
BONUS:
The cropping method
+(UIImage*)imageWithImage:(UIImage*)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize
{
//UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);
// In next line, pass 0.0 to use the current device's pixel scaling factor (and thus account for Retina resolution).
// Pass 1.0 to force exact pixel size.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, NO, 0.0);
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height)];
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
}

Answer 2

I'm using the following code for this and it does exactly what expected:
- (UIImage *) croppedImageOfView:(UIView *) view withFrame:(CGRect) rect
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size,NO,0.0);
CGContextTranslateCTM(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), -rect.origin.x, -rect.origin.y);
[view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *visibleScrollViewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return visibleScrollViewImage;
}
- (void) crop
{
CGRect neededRect = CGRectMake(50,50,100,100);
UIImage *image = [self croppedImageOfView:_scrollView withFrame:neededRect];
}
Works well even if content is zoomed, the only thing that must be calculated wisely is needed area CGRect.
