func cropImage(imageToCrop:UIImage, toRect rect:CGRect) -> UIImage{
let imageRef:CGImage = imageToCrop.cgImage!.cropping(to: rect)!
let cropped:UIImage = UIImage(cgImage:imageRef)
return cropped
}
let imageTop:UIImage = UIImage(named:"one.jpg")! // add validation
with help of this bridge function CGRectMake
-> CGRect
(credits to this answer answered by @rob mayoff
):
func CGRectMake(_ x: CGFloat, _ y: CGFloat, _ width: CGFloat, _ height: CGFloat) -> CGRect {
return CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height)
}
The usage is:
if var image:UIImage = UIImage(named:"one.jpg"){
let croppedImage = cropImage(imageToCrop: image, toRect: CGRectMake(
image.size.width/4,
0,
image.size.width/2,
image.size.height)
)
}
Output:
