How to flip UIImage horizontally with Swift?

Question

The solution to do UIImage flipping is with the Objective-C code:

[UIImage imageWithCGImage:img.CGImage scale:1.0 orientation: UIImageOrientationDownMirrored         


        

Answer 1

For me the simplest way was to use the .withHorizontallyFlippedOrientation() instance method of UIImage as follows:

let flippedImage = straightImage.withHorizontallyFlippedOrientation()

Simple one-liners always make me happy :)
