How to scale a UIImageView proportionally

Question

I have a UIImageView and the objective is to scale it down proportionally by giving it either a height or width    UIImage  image     UIImage alloc  initWithData  NSData dataWithContentsOfURL  NSURL URLWithString   http   farm4 static flickr com 3092 2915896504 a88b69c9de jpg      UIImageView  imageView     UIImageView alloc  initWithImage image       Add image view  self view addSubview imageView         set contentMode to scale aspect to fit imageView contentMode   UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit     change width of frame CGRect frame   imageView frame  frame size width   100  imageView frame   frame    The image did get resized but the position is not at the top left  What is the best approach to scaling image imageView and how do I correct the position

If the solutions proposed here aren t working for you  and your image asset is actually a PDF  note that XCode actually treats PDFs differently than image files  In particular  it doesn t seem able to scale to fill properly with a PDF  it ends up tiled instead  This drove me crazy until I figured out that the issue was the PDF format  Convert to JPG and you should be good to go

You could try making the imageView size match the image  The following code is not tested   CGSize kMaxImageViewSize     width   100   height   100   CGSize imageSize   image size  CGFloat aspectRatio   imageSize width   imageSize height  CGRect frame   imageView frame  if  kMaxImageViewSize width   aspectRatio  lt   kMaxImageViewSize height         frame size width   kMaxImageViewSize width      frame size height   frame size width   aspectRatio     else        frame size height   kMaxImageViewSize height      frame size width   frame size height   aspectRatio    imageView frame   frame
