I'm trying to add a small shadow to an image, much like the icon shadows in the App Store. Right now I'm using the following code to round the corners of my images. Does anyone know how I can adapt it to add a small shadow?
- (UIImage *)roundCornersOfImage:(UIImage *)source height:(int)height width:(int)width {
int w = width;
int h = height;
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
CGContextRef imageContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, w, h, 8, 4 * w, colorSpace, kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedFirst);
CGContextBeginPath(imageContext);
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, w, h);
addRoundedRectToPath(imageContext, rect, 10, 10);
CGContextClosePath(imageContext);
CGContextClip(imageContext);
CGContextDrawImage(imageContext, CGRectMake(0, 0, w, h), source.CGImage);
CGImageRef imageMasked = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(imageContext);
CGContextRelease(imageContext);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
return [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageMasked];
}
"addRoundedRectToPath" refers to another method that obviously rounds the corners.
