Cut a UIImage into a circle

Question

I want to cut a UIImage into a circle so that I can then use it as an annotation. Every answer on this site that I\'ve found describes creating an UIImage

Answer 1

Xcode 8.1, Swift 3.0.1

My code will look like this:

let image = yourImage.resize(CGSize(width: 20, height: 20))?.circled(forRadius: 20)

Add UIImage Extension, then:

func resize(_ size: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
    let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)
    return redraw(in: rect)
}

func redraw(in rect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)

    guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), let cgImage = cgImage else { return nil }

    let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)
    let flipVertical = CGAffineTransform(a: 1, b: 0, c: 0, d: -1, tx: 0, ty: rect.size.height)

    context.concatenate(flipVertical)
    context.draw(cgImage, in: rect)

    let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return image
}

func circled(forRadius radius: CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
    let rediusSize = CGSize(width: radius, height: radius)
    let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)

    guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), let cgImage = cgImage else { return nil }

    let flipVertical = CGAffineTransform(a: 1, b: 0, c: 0, d: -1, tx: 0, ty: rect.size.height)
    context.concatenate(flipVertical)

    let bezierPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: rect, byRoundingCorners: [.allCorners], cornerRadii: rediusSize)
    context.addPath(bezierPath.cgPath)
    context.clip()

    context.drawPath(using: .fillStroke)
    context.draw(cgImage, in: rect)

    let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return image
}
