Cropping an UIImage

Question

I\'ve got some code that resizes an image so I can get a scaled chunk of the center of the image - I use this to take a UIImage and return a small, square repre

Answer 1

- (UIImage *)getSubImage:(CGRect) rect{
    CGImageRef subImageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(self.CGImage, rect);
    CGRect smallBounds = CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y, CGImageGetWidth(subImageRef), CGImageGetHeight(subImageRef));

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(smallBounds.size);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextDrawImage(context, smallBounds, subImageRef);
    UIImage* smallImg = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:subImageRef];
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return smallImg;
}
