Resizing image to fit UIImageView

Question

I am very new to objective c and I'm just getting my bearings. I want to do something really simple but it proves to be quite a challenge:

I am trying to display an image into an UIImageView. The image I'm showing is large and I want it scaled down to fit the UIImageView. I tried setting the AspectFit View mode but the image gets displayed to the original size and is clipped by the UIImageView. My code is below:

- (void)changeImages {     UIImage* img11 = nil;      img11 = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"dog" ofType:@"jpeg"]];      u11.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;     u11.image = img11; }  - (void)viewDidLoad {     [super viewDidLoad];     // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.      [self changeImages]; } 

Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Thanks!

Hi I would try this...

- (void)changeImages {     UIImage *img11 = [UIImage imageNamed@"dog.jpeg"];      u11.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;     u11.clipsToBounds = YES;     [u11 setImage:img11]; }  - (void)viewWillAppear:animated {     [super viewWillAppear:animated];      [self changeImages]; } 

This will scale the image (up or down) so that it fits inside the imageView. Having clipsToBounds isn't necessary but will stop the image from displaying outside the frame of your imageView.

HTH.

Add to your UIViewController.m:

-(UIImage *)resizeImage:(UIImage *)image imageSize:(CGSize)size {     UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);     [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0,0,size.width,size.height)];     UIImage* newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();     // here is the scaled image which has been changed to the size specified     UIGraphicsEndImageContext();     return newImage; } 

Using:

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"]; CGSize size = CGSizeMake(50, 63); // set the width and height  UIImage *resizedImage = [self resizeImage:image imageSize:size]; 

I hope it helps.
