Rotate image using CGContextDrawImage

Question

How can I rotate an image drawn by CGContextDrawImage() at its center?

In drawRect:

CGContextSaveGState(c);

rect = CGRectO

You can use the following method for rotating image.

-(UIImage*)rotateImage:(UIImage*)img forAngle:(CGFloat)radian   {

    UIView *rotatedViewBox = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, img.size.width, img.size.height)];
    CGAffineTransform t = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(radian);
    rotatedViewBox.transform = t;
    CGSize rotatedSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size;

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize);

    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextTranslateCTM(context, rotatedSize.width, rotatedSize.height);
    CGContextRotateCTM(context, radian);
    CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0);

    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(-img.size.width, -img.size.height, img.size.width, img.size.height), img.CGImage);
    UIImage *returnImg = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return returnImg;
}

If you use angle, then here is the macro for converting degree to radian

#define DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(angle) ((angle) / 180.0 * M_PI)
