iOS Crop an Image with preserve image scale

Today we will learn how to crop an UIImage using iOS SDK. I tried various solution from the web but they are creating problem at some point. Finally i found a solution which work perfectly fine.

Crop:

In iOS core graphs provide a method to crop the image by providing the rect:

CGImageCreateWithImageInRect

So we will use this method to crop the image and main problem in cropping is scale is not maintained after crop the image and for that we need to scale the rect also for cropping.

Following is the solution for cropping the image with preserving the same scale:

- (UIImage*)cropImageWithSize:(CGSize)size ToRect:(CGRect)cropRect{

    UIImage* cropImage = nil;

//Scale the rect to preserve the same scale. Self.Scale represent the image scale value

    cropRect = CGRectMake(cropRect.origin.x * self.scale,

                          cropRect.origin.y * self.scale,

                          cropRect.size.width * self.scale,

                          cropRect.size.height * self.scale);

    CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([self CGImage], cropRect);

    cropImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef scale:self.scale orientation:self.imageOrientation];

    CGImageRelease(imageRef);

    return cropImage;

}

So i have added this method in UIImage Category and use it.

Above method will crop the image if you have any UIImage and you have to provide the rect with respective of the image.

Example:

If my image size is 1024 * 768 then i can provide a rect

CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 384) and it will crop the upper half of image.

Asynchronous Request with NSOperationQueue

Today post is about how to run a asynchronous task in NSOperationQueue. Generally we do not run a Asynchronous task in NSOperationQueue. It is also not recommended for any programmer to do that. This post is only for learning purpose what will happen if we schedule a asynchronous task in a queue and how can we complete that task:). So let us move to the learning: NSOperationQueue: In iOS NSOperationQueue is a class, which provide a way to perform operation concurrently. We also have others way to perform concurrent operation: 1) GCD 2) NSThread 3) pThread NSOperationQueue is a wrapper on GCD, which provides a very convenient way to execute operation concurrently. To create a Queue for Operation you have to simply allocate a object of the class: NSOperationQueue * opertionQueue = [[ NSOperationQueue alloc ] init ]; For this post let suppose you are making a queue to handle all Http request in your application. So i want to create a queue in Handl...

NSThread with Asynchronous Request

NSThread: It is class used in Cocoa framework to create a thread.You have to specify a target and selector to create a new thread in objective c. So the selector or method is main entry point of your thread. Detail: What happen once the thread execute all the code in the method (Thread main routine)? Thread is terminated after execute all the code in the entry(its main routine) routine. So how we can run an asynchronous request on NSThread ? What is Async request? It is non blocking request which permit the application to do other task side by side as request is in continue. So it enhance parallelism in the application. Now question is how we can prepare a asynchronous request in iOS: - ( void ) startAsyncRequestWithUrl:( NSString *)urlString{ assert (urlString != nil && urlString. length > 0 ); NSURL * url = [[ NSURL alloc ] initWithString :urlString]; NSURLRequest * urlRequest = [[ NSURLReq...

Everything about BLE with iOS Part1 (Introduction)

In this article we will learn how to turn your iPhone to behave as peripheral (who has data to send) or central (who receive the data). What is BLE (Bluetooth Low energy device) ? Bluetooth LE is a wireless personal area network technology like its previous incarnation, Classic Bluetooth. It can be use to transfer and receiving of the data. What is difference between Classic and LE ? BLE has low power consumption and low data transfer rate. BLE can support large number of slaves. On the other hand Classic (3.0) support maximum 7 devices connectivity. Unique feature of BLE is advertising functionality, So other devices can scan, connect and receive data from the advertising BLE device. Other difference is in classic you need to pair the devices first for the communication. Terms: Peripheral: It is device which advertise the service. In client-server architecture form we can say peripheral is...
