I have drawn into a CGContext of a UIView.
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { 
    [self drawInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()]  
}
I would like to save what I have drawn to a png file.
Is there a simple solution?
EDIT: Based on suggestions below - here's what I have so far....
-(void)createImage {
    NSString* outFile = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/image.png"];
    DLog(@"creating image file at %@", outFile);
    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); 
    NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
    [imageData writeToFile:outFile 
                atomically:NO];
}
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { 
    [self drawInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()]; 
    [self createImage];
}
UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); 
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[imageData writeToFile:@"image.png"];
