Swift: Cropping a Screenshot without TabBar and NavigationBar

Question

I have a screenshot of the entire screen, screenshot, generated using the following:

let layer = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow!.l         


        

Answer 1

According to this

The new image is created by
1) adjusting rect to integral bounds by calling CGRectIntegral;
2) intersecting the result with a rectangle with origin (0, 0) and size equal to the size of image;
3) referencing the pixels within the resulting rectangle, treating the first pixel of the image data as the origin of the image.
If the resulting rectangle is the null rectangle, this function returns NULL.

If W and H are the width and height of image, respectively, then the point (0,0) corresponds to the first pixel of the image data; the point (W-1, 0) is the last pixel of the first row of the image data; (0, H-1) is the first pixel of the last row of the image data; and (W-1, H-1) is the last pixel of the last row of the image data.

You will need to have a crop function like this. You may need adjust the calculation of the bottomBarHeight

func takeScreenshot(sender: AnyObject) {
    let layer = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow!.layer
    let scale = UIScreen.mainScreen().scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(layer.frame.size, false, scale);

    layer.renderInContext(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext())
    let screenshot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    let croppedImage = self.cropImage(screenshot)
}

func cropImage(screenshot: UIImage) -> UIImage {
    let scale = screenshot.scale
    let imgSize = screenshot.size
    let screenHeight = UIScreen.mainScreen().applicationFrame.height
    let bound = self.view.bounds.height
    let navHeight = self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.height
    let bottomBarHeight = screenHeight - navHeight - bound
    let crop = CGRectMake(0, 0, //"start" at the upper-left corner
        (imgSize.width - 1) * scale, //include half the width of the whole screen
        (imgSize.height - bottomBarHeight - 1) * scale) //include the height of the navigationBar and the height of view

    let cgImage = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(screenshot.CGImage, crop)
    let image: UIImage = UIImage(CGImage: cgImage)!
    return image
}
