UIImage Aspect Fit when using drawInRect?

Question

UIView provides for the "aspect fit" content mode. However, I've subclasses UIView and would like to draw a UIImage using drawInRect with an aspect fit. Is there any way for me to access that functionality without using a UIImageView?

Answer 1

The math for that is a little bit hairy, but fortunately, here's a solution I prepared earlier:

- (UIImage *)imageScaledToSize:(CGSize)size
{
    //create drawing context
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, 0.0f);

    //draw
    [self drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, size.width, size.height)];

    //capture resultant image
    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return image;
}

- (UIImage *)imageScaledToFitSize:(CGSize)size
{
    //calculate rect
    CGFloat aspect = self.size.width / self.size.height;
    if (size.width / aspect <= size.height)
    {
        return [self imageScaledToSize:CGSizeMake(size.width, size.width / aspect)];
    }
    else
    {
        return [self imageScaledToSize:CGSizeMake(size.height * aspect, size.height)];
    }
}

The first function is equivalent to "scale to fill", the second (which calls the first) is equivalent to "aspect fit". These methods were written as a category on UIImage so to use them from within another class you'll need to tweak them by passing the image in as a second parameter (or just make a category on UIImage like I did).

Answer 2

You have to draw in the rect provided by

Swift:

func AVMakeRect(aspectRatio: CGSize, insideRect boundingRect: CGRect) -> CGRect

Objective-C:

CGRect AVMakeRectWithAspectRatioInsideRect(CGSize aspectRatio, CGRect boundingRect);

See doc

The aspect ratio is preserved and the drawing centred.

It works in absolutely all cases.

Answer 3

here's the solution

CGSize imageSize = yourImage.size;
CGSize viewSize = CGSizeMake(450, 340); // size in which you want to draw

float hfactor = imageSize.width / viewSize.width;
float vfactor = imageSize.height / viewSize.height;

float factor = fmax(hfactor, vfactor);

// Divide the size by the greater of the vertical or horizontal shrinkage factor
float newWidth = imageSize.width / factor;
float newHeight = imageSize.height / factor;

CGRect newRect = CGRectMake(xOffset,yOffset, newWidth, newHeight);
[image drawInRect:newRect];

another alternative for aspect fit

-(CGSize ) getImageSize :(CGSize )imgViewSize andActualImageSize:(CGSize )actualImageSize {

     // imgViewSize = size of view in which image is to be drawn
     // actualImageSize = size of image which is to be drawn

     CGSize drawImageSize;

     if (actualImageSize.height > actualImageSize.width) {

        drawImageSize.height = imgViewSize.height;
        drawImageSize.width = actualImageSize.width/actualImageSize.height * imgViewSize.height;

     }else {

        drawImageSize.width = imgViewSize.width;
        drawImageSize.height = imgViewSize.width * actualImageSize.height /  actualImageSize.width;
     }
     return drawImageSize;
}

Code for swift 3.0:

func getAspectFitFrame(sizeImgView:CGSize, sizeImage:CGSize) -> CGRect{

    let imageSize:CGSize  = sizeImage
    let viewSize:CGSize = sizeImgView

    let hfactor : CGFloat = imageSize.width/viewSize.width
    let vfactor : CGFloat = imageSize.height/viewSize.height

    let factor : CGFloat = max(hfactor, vfactor)

    // Divide the size by the greater of the vertical or horizontal shrinkage factor
    let newWidth : CGFloat = imageSize.width / factor
    let newHeight : CGFloat = imageSize.height / factor

    var x:CGFloat = 0.0
    var y:CGFloat = 0.0
    if newWidth > newHeight{
        y = (sizeImgView.height - newHeight)/2
    }
    if newHeight > newWidth{
        x = (sizeImgView.width - newWidth)/2
    }
    let newRect:CGRect = CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: newWidth, height: newHeight)

    return newRect

}
