How to move the image on the CGContextRef - ios

An image has been drawn on the CGContextRef:
CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), image);
In another function, I want to move the image to the rect like
CGRectMake(100, 100, width, height);
How can I do?
void func(CGContextRef context)//there is just one parameter
{
//move the image
}

Once you've drawn to the context it can't be undone. You can draw over the previous image, perhaps with a solid color to match the background. I don't know why you would ever want to draw to a context and then move it.
I'm going to assume the first function that draws the image calls the second one that positions it. If that is the case, you can have the second function simply apply a translation transform to the context and then have the first function draw the image after calling the second.

Try this
void func(CGContextRef context, CGFloat x, CGFloat y)
{
CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(x,y, width, height), image);
}

Rotating CIImage around a point

I would like to rotate a UIImage from file (a jpeg on the file system) a computed amount of radians, but I would like to rotate it around a point in the image, as well as keep the original size of the image (with transparent gaps in the image where image data no longer exists, as well as cropping image data that has moved outside of the original frame). I would like to then store and display the resulting UIImage. I haven't found any resources for this task, any help would be much appreciated!
The closest thing I have found so far (with some slight modifications) is as follows:
-(UIImage*)rotateImage:(UIImage*)image aroundPoint:(CGPoint)point radians:(float)radians newSize:(CGRect)newSize
{
CGRect imageRect = { point, image.size };
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(image.size);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, imageRect.origin.x, imageRect.origin.y);
CGContextRotateCTM(context, radians);
CGContextTranslateCTM(context, -imageRect.origin.x, -imageRect.origin.y);
CGContextDrawImage(context, (CGRect){ CGPointZero, imageRect.size }, [image CGImage]);
UIImage *returnImg = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return returnImg;
}
Unfortunately, this rotates the image incorrectly (in my tests, somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 degrees more than desired).
to rotate that UIImage image, lets say 90 degrees, you can easily do:
imageView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/2);
to rotate it multiple times you can use:
UIView animateKeyframesWithDuration method
and to anchor it to some point you can use:
[image.layer setAnchorPoint:CGPointMake(....)];

CGcontext origin after rotation

I am trying to rotate an image about the center then place the rotated image's center over a point. When I draw it on the context after rotatoin it does not draw where i expect...
CGContextTranslateCTM( context, xOffset, yOffset);
CGContextRotateCTM(context, radiansOffset);
CGContextTranslateCTM( context, -xOffset, -yOffset)
[backgroundimage drawInRect:CGRectMake( x, y, width, height)];
When i place the image without rotation, it is placed where i want, but after rotation as above, it is placed almost as if its still being rotated around a point outside of the image itself.

UIImageView rotation without moving Image

Hi,
I want to rotate my UIImageView without moving the whole "png". No code is only to test what happens
_fanImage.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(45);
It turns but the whole image moves. What can I do that this doesn't happen ?
You can try something like this.. You should rotate the UIImage rather than UIImageView.
- (UIImage *)imageWithTransform:(CGAffineTransform)transform {
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.height, self.size.width);
CGImageRef imageRef = self.CGImage;
// Build a context that's the same dimensions as the new size
CGContextRef bitmap = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL,
self.size.width,
self.size.height,
CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(imageRef),
0,
CGImageGetColorSpace(imageRef),
CGImageGetBitmapInfo(imageRef));
// Rotate and/or flip the image if required by its orientation
CGContextConcatCTM(bitmap, transform);
// Draw into the context; this scales the image
CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, rect, imageRef);
// Get the resized image from the context and a UIImage
CGImageRef newImageRef = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmap);
UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:newImageRef];
// Clean up
CGContextRelease(bitmap);
CGImageRelease(newImageRef);
return newImage;
}
I think you mean that you want your image view to rotate around it's center point. Is that right? If so, that's what a view should do by default.
You should do a search on "Translating, Scaling, and Rotating Views" in Xcode and read the resulting article.
Note that all of iOS's angles are specified in radians, not degrees.
Your sample images aren't really helpful, since we can't see the frame that the image view is drawn into. It's almost impossible to tell what your image views are doing and what they are supposed to be doing instead based on the pictures you linked from your dropbox.
A full 360 degrees is 2pi.
You should use
CGFloat degrees = 45;
CGFloat radians = degrees/180*M_PI;
_fanImage.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(radians);
That will fix the rotation amount for your code, but probably not the rotation position.

How to create transparent areas in a UIImage?

i'm creating a game for iPhone, with xcode. I have a starting image, from which i'd like to have a second image with some (four) transparent areas in it, e.g. just like this one:
The problem is that i don't know how to achieve it; have i to handle the original image and to cut the areas from it? or have i to create a new image where i put only the visible parts from the original one?
Any suggestion or snippet would be really appreciated.
Well, I'd do it by creating custom UIView subclass and using its drawRect method to draw the portion.
Fo example:
-(void)drawRect:(
CGRect)rect
{
[super drawRect:rect];
CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); // get drawing context
CGContextSaveGState(ctx); //remember current state
CGContextClipToRect(ctx, CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)); //set clipping
CGContextDrawImage(ctx, CGRectMake(0, 0, img.size.width, img.size.height), img.CGImage);
CGContextRestoreGState(ctx); //restore state, so the previous clipping will be canceled
CGContextSaveGState(ctx);
CGContextClipToRect(ctx, CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100));
CGContextDrawImage(ctx, CGRectMake(0, 0, img.size.width, img.size.height), img.CGImage);
CGContextRestoreGState(ctx);
}
This will draw two small rects. In this code img is an UIImage.
However, this is the easiest way to do this, not the most efficient - it requres to redraw for each portion. You might want to check CGContextClipToRects and CGContextClip functions, to make it more efficient and flexible.

cgcontext rotate rectangle

guys!
I need to draw some image to CGContext.This is the relevant code:
CGContextSaveGState(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGRect rect = r;
CGContextRotateCTM(ctx, DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(350));
[image drawInRect:r];
CGContextRestoreGState(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
Actually,the rectangle is rotate and display on a area what is not my purpose.I just want to
rotate the image and display on the same position.
Any ideas ?????
Rotation is about the context's origin, which is the same point that rectangles are relative to. If you imagine a sheet of graph paper in the background, you can see what's going on more clearly:
The line is the “bottom” (y=0) of your window/view/layer/context. Of course, you can draw below the bottom if you want, and if your context is transformed the right way, you might even be able to see it.
Anyway, I'm assuming that what you want to do is rotate the rectangle in place, relative to an unrotated world, not rotate the world and everything in it.
The only way to rotate anything is to rotate the world, so that's how you need to do it:
Save the graphics state.
Translate the origin to the point where you want to draw the rectangle. (You probably want to translate to its center point, not the rectangle's origin.)
Rotate the context.
Draw the rectangle centered on the origin. In other words, your rectangle's origin point should be negative half its width and negative half its height (i.e., (CGPoint){ width / -2.0, height / -2.0 })—don't use the origin it had before, because you already used that in the translate step.
Restore the gstate so that future drawing isn't rotated.
What worked for me was to first use a rotation matrix to calculate the amount of translation required to keep your image centered. Below I assume you've already calculated centerX and centerY to be the center of your drawing frame and 'theta' is your desired rotation angle in radians.
let newX = centerX*cos(theta) - centerY*sin(theta)
let newY = centerX*sin(theta) + centerY*cos(theta)
CGContextTranslateCTM(context,newX,newY)
CGContextRotateCTM(context,theta)
<redraw your image here>
Worked just fine for me. Hope it helps.
use following code to rotate your image
// convert degrees to Radians
CGFloat DegreesToRadians(CGFloat degrees)
{
return degrees * M_PI / 180;
};
write it in drawRect method
// create new context
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// define rotation angle
CGContextRotateCTM(context, DegreesToRadians(45));
// get your UIImage
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:#"yourImageName"];
// Draw your image at rect
CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(100, 0, 100, 100), [img CGImage]);
// draw context
UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
