UIImage: Resize, then Crop

Question

I\'ve been bashing my face into this one for literally days now and even though I feel constantly that I am right on the edge of revelation, I simply cannot achieve my goal.

Here is a Swift 3 version of Sam Wirch's guide to swift posted by William T.

extension UIImage {

    static func resizedCroppedImage(image: UIImage, newSize:CGSize) -> UIImage? {
        var ratio: CGFloat = 0
        var delta: CGFloat = 0
        var offset = CGPoint.zero

        if image.size.width > image.size.height {
            ratio = newSize.width / image.size.width
            delta = (ratio * image.size.width) - (ratio * image.size.height)
            offset = CGPoint(x: delta / 2, y: 0)
        } else {
            ratio = newSize.width / image.size.height
            delta = (ratio * image.size.height) - (ratio * image.size.width)
            offset = CGPoint(x: 0, y: delta / 2)
        }

        let clipRect = CGRect(x: -offset.x, y: -offset.y, width: (ratio * image.size.width) + delta, height: (ratio * image.size.height) + delta)
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, true, 0.0)
        UIRectClip(clipRect)
        image.draw(in: clipRect)
        let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return newImage
    }

}
