Flip UIImage Along Either Axis

Question

I\'m trying to create a method which flips a UIImage along the X axis, Y axis, or both. I keep getting close but my transform knowledge isn\'t good enough to get all the way

Answer 1

I finally was able to figure this out. Here is the code that works for anyone else who might need it.

- (UIImage *)flippedImageByAxis:(MVImageFlip)axis{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.size);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    if(axis == MVImageFlipXAxis){
        // Do nothing, X is flipped normally in a Core Graphics Context
    } else if(axis == MVImageFlipYAxis){
        // fix X axis
        CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.size.height);
        CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0f, -1.0f);

        // then flip Y axis
        CGContextTranslateCTM(context, self.size.width, 0);
        CGContextScaleCTM(context, -1.0f, 1.0f);
    } else if(axis == MVImageFlipXAxisAndYAxis){
        // just flip Y
        CGContextTranslateCTM(context, self.size.width, 0);
        CGContextScaleCTM(context, -1.0f, 1.0f);
    }

    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, self.size.width, self.size.height), [self CGImage]);

    UIImage *flipedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return flipedImage;
}
