Ok so after a couple suggestions and rereading the Quartz information on shadows I modified my code but it's mostly all redundant since the shadow color is whatever the image color is and I cant seem to change that. Anyway Below is the code I am trying to use to draw a drop shadow under a UIImage inside of a UIImage view and it just isn't working. Sometimes I get a duplicate of the image with no color change, sometimes the image is clipped randomly and other times the image simply vanishes from the image view: P.S. I realize some of this code is useless but as you can see it was based on the apple example code.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.frame.size); CGContextRef myContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGSize myShadowOffset = CGSizeMake (5, 10);// 2 float myColorValues[] = {0, 0, 0, .3};// 3 CGColorRef myColor;// 4 CGColorSpaceRef myColorSpace;// 5 CGImageRef imgRef = rotatingView.image.CGImage; CGFloat width = CGImageGetWidth(imgRef); CGFloat height = CGImageGetHeight(imgRef); CGContextSaveGState(myContext);// 6 CGContextSetShadow (myContext, myShadowOffset, 5); // 7 // Your drawing code here// 8 CGContextSetRGBFillColor (myContext, 0, 1, 0, 1); // CGContextDrawImage(myContext, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), imgRef); [rotatingView.image drawInRect:self.frame]; myColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB ();// 9 myColor = CGColorCreate (myColorSpace, myColorValues);// 10 CGContextSetShadowWithColor (myContext, myShadowOffset, 5, myColor);// 11 // Your drawing code here// 12 CGContextSetRGBFillColor (myContext, 0, 0, 1, 1); //CGContextDrawImage(myContext, CGRectMake (width/3-75,height/2-100,width/4,height/4),imgRef); [rotatingView.image drawInRect:CGRectMake (width/3-75,height/2-100,width/4,height/4)]; CGColorRelease (myColor);// 13 CGColorSpaceRelease (myColorSpace); // 14 UIImage *imageCopy = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); CGContextRestoreGState(myContext); UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); rotatingView.image = imageCopy;_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
