Rounded Corners on UIImage
I'm gonna go ahead here and actually answer the question in the title.
Try this category.
UIImage+additions.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface UIImage (additions)
-(UIImage*)makeRoundCornersWithRadius:(const CGFloat)RADIUS;
@end
UIImage+additions.m
#import "UIImage+additions.h"
@implementation UIImage (additions)
-(UIImage*)makeRoundCornersWithRadius:(const CGFloat)RADIUS {
UIImage *image = self;
// Begin a new image that will be the new image with the rounded corners
// (here with the size of an UIImageView)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, NO, image.scale);
const CGRect RECT = CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height);
// Add a clip before drawing anything, in the shape of an rounded rect
[[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:RECT cornerRadius:RADIUS] addClip];
// Draw your image
[image drawInRect:RECT];
// Get the image, here setting the UIImageView image
//imageView.image
UIImage* imageNew = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
// Lets forget about that we were drawing
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return imageNew;
}
@end
If appIconImage is an UIImageView, then:
appIconImage.image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:@"image.png"];
appIconImage.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
appIconImage.layer.cornerRadius = 10.0;
appIconImage.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
appIconImage.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor grayColor] CGColor];
And also remember:
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
Here is an even easier method that is available in iPhone 3.0 and up. Every View-based object has an associated layer. Each layer can have a corner radius set, this will give you just what you want:
UIImageView * roundedView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"wood.jpg"]];
// Get the Layer of any view
CALayer * l = [roundedView layer];
[l setMasksToBounds:YES];
[l setCornerRadius:10.0];
// You can even add a border
[l setBorderWidth:4.0];
[l setBorderColor:[[UIColor blueColor] CGColor]];
