Swift NSImage to CGImage
How can I convert a NSImage to CGImage in Swift? In Objective-C I did it like this:
- (CGImageRef)CGImage {
NSData *imageData = self.TIFFRepresentation;
CGImageSourceRef source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((__bridge CFDataRef)imageData, NULL);
CGImageRef maskRef = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, 0, NULL);
return maskRef;
}
Now I tried with:
extension NSImage {
var CGImage: CGImageRef {
get {
let imageData = self.TIFFRepresentation
let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(imageData as CFDataRef, nil)
let maskRef = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, UInt(0), nil)
return maskRef;
}
}
}
I can't compile, I'm getting the error: Could not find an overload for 'init' that accepts the supplied arguments'
at the line let maskRef ...
Here's what I'm using to convert NSImage to CGImage:
let image = NSImage(named:"image")
if let image = image {
var imageRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: image.size.width, height: image.size.height)
let imageRef = image.cgImage(forProposedRect: &imageRect, context: nil, hints: nil)
}
Swift 5 code :-
if let image = NSImage(named: "Icon"){
let cgImage = image.cgImage(forProposedRect: nil, context: nil, hints: nil)
}
Ah, I found the solution. It's because in Swift you only the an unmanaged object (I just did not really understand, what this means). But this code now works:
extension NSImage {
var CGImage: CGImageRef {
get {
let imageData = self.TIFFRepresentation
let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(imageData as CFDataRef, nil).takeUnretainedValue()
let maskRef = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(source, UInt(0), nil)
return maskRef.takeUnretainedValue();
}
}
}
For Swift 4.0, XCode 9.2:
extension NSImage {
@objc var CGImage: CGImage? {
get {
guard let imageData = self.tiffRepresentation else { return nil }
guard let sourceData = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(imageData as CFData, nil) else { return nil }
return CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(sourceData, 0, nil)
}
}
}
