Resize UIImage to 200x200pt/px

Question

I have been struggling resizing an image. Basically I have stumpled upon: How to scale down a UIImage and make it crispy / sharp at the same time instead of blurry?

Answer 1

Here is my code. The Image is in width 850 px and not 200 px:

 func resizeImage(image: UIImage, newWidth: CGFloat) -> UIImage {

    let scale = newWidth / image.size.width
    let newHeight = image.size.height * scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(newWidth, newHeight))
    image.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight))
    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return newImage
}


@IBAction func chooseImage(sender: AnyObject) {


    var myPickerController = UIImagePickerController()
    myPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
    myPickerController.delegate = self;
    self.presentViewController(myPickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)


}

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject])

{
    var imagenow = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage

    imageImage.image = resizeImage(imagenow!, newWidth: 200)



    pimg2 = imageImage.image!

    cidnew2 = textFieldCID!.text!
    pname2 = textFieldName!.text
    pmanu2 = textFieldMan!.text
    pnick2 = textFieldNick!.text
    podate2 = textFieldPODate!.text
    pno2 = textFieldArtNo!.text



    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

}
