In a Model-View-Controller design pattern views exist to display information from the model (as provided by the controller), or to obtain data from the user (via the controller to be stored in the model). By storing the model in the view, you are basically violating the pattern's precepts. A mundane consequence of doing this would occur if you presented a modal view controller (such as the UIImagePickerController) and subsequently your application received a memory warning. At some point you would attempt to assign the image to the image view, but it is likely that the image view would no longer be the correct one to use. Additionally the transform on the image view that will soon be shown to the user is likely to be the wrong transform (probably identity). This would occur because when you present a modal view controller and a memory warning arrives, the view controller typically discards its views, and thus any data those views contained, on the assumption that your view controller can simply reconfigure those views as necessary later. > Now I'm little off on the scale matter also, I have seen many post how > to get the scale of a UIImageVIew, but somehow nothing seems to work. > :(, because I need to have the final image at that given size, but > enclosing what was bellow the "mask", and always the final image its > too zoomed. :(. I'm not exactly certain what you are trying to do (mostly because I think you've elided the code that shows that) but the basic premise is "translate to your rotation origin, rotate, then translate back to the image origin". Usually the rotation origin is specified in terms of the image, but thats not always the case (and I'm not sure if it is in yours). Also be certain to keep discussions like this on list, as there may be many others that may have useful knowledge to impart. > Thanks again for your reply. > > G. > > > On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 10:02 AM, Gustavo Adolfo Pizano > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hello Duncan. >> >> Thx for reply. >> So if I understood properly >> >> Translating the context's center. >> >> iVar: UIImage * originalImage; >> >> .... >> .... >> UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size) //size is a CGSize with 900x567 >> CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); >> CGContextSetAllowsAntialiasing(ctx, YES); >> CGContextSetShouldAntialias(ctx, YES); >> CGContextTranslateCTM(ctx, size.width/2, size.height/2); //this >> will translate my context to the center of the context >> CGContextConcatCTM(ctx, _imageView.transform); >> >> >> >> >> >> >> On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 6:49 PM, David Duncan <[email protected]> wrote: >>> On May 24, 2012, at 12:19 AM, Gustavo Adolfo Pizano wrote: >>> >>>> For the transformation I'm using gesture recognizers. >>>> when I want to compose the image this is are the steps I'm doing >>>> >>>> UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size) //size is a CGSize with 900x567 >>>> CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); >>>> CGContextSetAllowsAntialiasing(ctx, YES); >>>> CGContextSetShouldAntialias(ctx, YES); >>>> CGContextConcatCTM(ctx, _imageView.transform); >>> >>> The image view's transform is going to be with respect to the center of the >>> image view, but you are translating the context with respect to its origin. >>> You need to translate to the center of the context before you apply this >>> transform. >>> >>>> [_imageView.image >>>> drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(-_image.size.width/2,-_image.size.height/2)]; >>>> >>>> UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); >>>> UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); >>> >>> >>> As a general comment, you really shouldn't use your _imageView as a data >>> model object (that is, as a container for the transform and image) as it >>> unnecessarily locks you into using the UIImageView as the "truth".
