How to round corners of UIImage with Hexagon mask
I'm trying to add a hexagon mask to a UIImage which I has been successful in. However I am unable to round the sides of the hexagon mask. I thought adding cell.profilePic.layer.cornerRadius = 10; would do the trick but it hasn't.
Here is my code:
CGRect rect = cell.profilePic.frame;
CAShapeLayer *hexagonMask = [CAShapeLayer layer];
CAShapeLayer *hexagonBorder = [CAShapeLayer layer];
hexagonBorder.frame = cell.profilePic.layer.bounds;
UIBezierPath *hexagonPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
CGFloat sideWidth = 2 * ( 0.5 * rect.size.width / 2 );
CGFloat lcolumn = ( rect.size.width - sideWidth ) / 2;
CGFloat rcolumn = rect.size.width - lcolumn;
CGFloat height = 0.866025 * rect.size.height;
CGFloat y = (rect.size.height - height) / 2;
CGFloat by = rect.size.height - y;
CGFloat midy = rect.size.height / 2;
CGFloat rightmost = rect.size.width;
[hexagonPath moveToPoint:CGPointMake(lcolumn, y)];
[hexagonPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(rcolumn, y)];
[hexagonPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(rightmost, midy)];
[hexagonPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(rcolumn, by)];
[hexagonPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(lcolumn, by)];
[hexagonPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(0, midy)];
[hexagonPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(lcolumn, y)];
hexagonMask.path = hexagonPath.CGPath;
hexagonBorder.path = hexagonPath.CGPath;
hexagonBorder.fillColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
hexagonBorder.strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
hexagonBorder.lineWidth = 5;
cell.profilePic.layer.mask = hexagonMask;
cell.profilePic.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
cell.profilePic.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
[cell.profilePic.layer addSublayer:hexagonBorder];
Any ideas?
Thanks
Solution 1:
You can define a path that is a hexagon with rounded corners (defining that path manually) and then apply that as the mask and border sublayer:
CGFloat lineWidth = 5.0;
UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath polygonInRect:self.imageView.bounds
sides:6
lineWidth:lineWidth
cornerRadius:30];
// mask for the image view
CAShapeLayer *mask = [CAShapeLayer layer];
mask.path = path.CGPath;
mask.lineWidth = lineWidth;
mask.strokeColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
mask.fillColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;
self.imageView.layer.mask = mask;
// if you also want a border, add that as a separate layer
CAShapeLayer *border = [CAShapeLayer layer];
border.path = path.CGPath;
border.lineWidth = lineWidth;
border.strokeColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
border.fillColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
[self.imageView.layer addSublayer:border];
Where the path of a regular polygon with rounded corners might be implemented in a category like so:
@interface UIBezierPath (Polygon)
/** Create UIBezierPath for regular polygon with rounded corners
*
* @param rect The CGRect of the square in which the path should be created.
* @param sides How many sides to the polygon (e.g. 6=hexagon; 8=octagon, etc.).
* @param lineWidth The width of the stroke around the polygon. The polygon will be inset such that the stroke stays within the above square.
* @param cornerRadius The radius to be applied when rounding the corners.
*
* @return UIBezierPath of the resulting rounded polygon path.
*/
+ (instancetype)polygonInRect:(CGRect)rect sides:(NSInteger)sides lineWidth:(CGFloat)lineWidth cornerRadius:(CGFloat)cornerRadius;
@end
And
@implementation UIBezierPath (Polygon)
+ (instancetype)polygonInRect:(CGRect)rect sides:(NSInteger)sides lineWidth:(CGFloat)lineWidth cornerRadius:(CGFloat)cornerRadius {
UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
CGFloat theta = 2.0 * M_PI / sides; // how much to turn at every corner
CGFloat offset = cornerRadius * tanf(theta / 2.0); // offset from which to start rounding corners
CGFloat squareWidth = MIN(rect.size.width, rect.size.height); // width of the square
// calculate the length of the sides of the polygon
CGFloat length = squareWidth - lineWidth;
if (sides % 4 != 0) { // if not dealing with polygon which will be square with all sides ...
length = length * cosf(theta / 2.0) + offset/2.0; // ... offset it inside a circle inside the square
}
CGFloat sideLength = length * tanf(theta / 2.0);
// start drawing at `point` in lower right corner
CGPoint point = CGPointMake(rect.origin.x + rect.size.width / 2.0 + sideLength / 2.0 - offset, rect.origin.y + rect.size.height / 2.0 + length / 2.0);
CGFloat angle = M_PI;
[path moveToPoint:point];
// draw the sides and rounded corners of the polygon
for (NSInteger side = 0; side < sides; side++) {
point = CGPointMake(point.x + (sideLength - offset * 2.0) * cosf(angle), point.y + (sideLength - offset * 2.0) * sinf(angle));
[path addLineToPoint:point];
CGPoint center = CGPointMake(point.x + cornerRadius * cosf(angle + M_PI_2), point.y + cornerRadius * sinf(angle + M_PI_2));
[path addArcWithCenter:center radius:cornerRadius startAngle:angle - M_PI_2 endAngle:angle + theta - M_PI_2 clockwise:YES];
point = path.currentPoint; // we don't have to calculate where the arc ended ... UIBezierPath did that for us
angle += theta;
}
[path closePath];
path.lineWidth = lineWidth; // in case we're going to use CoreGraphics to stroke path, rather than CAShapeLayer
path.lineJoinStyle = kCGLineJoinRound;
return path;
}
That yields something like so:
Or in Swift 3 you might do:
let lineWidth: CGFloat = 5
let path = UIBezierPath(polygonIn: imageView.bounds, sides: 6, lineWidth: lineWidth, cornerRadius: 30)
let mask = CAShapeLayer()
mask.path = path.cgPath
mask.lineWidth = lineWidth
mask.strokeColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
mask.fillColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
imageView.layer.mask = mask
let border = CAShapeLayer()
border.path = path.cgPath
border.lineWidth = lineWidth
border.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
border.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
imageView.layer.addSublayer(border)

}
close()

lineJoinStyle = .round
}
}

Solution 2:
Here is the swift 3 version of Rob's answer.
let lineWidth: CGFloat = 5.0
let path = UIBezierPath(roundedPolygonPathWithRect: self.bounds, lineWidth: lineWidth, sides: 6, cornerRadius: 12)
let mask = CAShapeLayer()
mask.path = path.cgPath
mask.lineWidth = lineWidth
mask.strokeColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
mask.fillColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
self.layer.mask = mask
let border = CAShapeLayer()
border.path = path.cgPath
border.lineWidth = lineWidth
border.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
border.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
self.layer.addSublayer(border)
extension UIBezierPath {
convenience init(roundedPolygonPathWithRect rect: CGRect, lineWidth: CGFloat, sides: NSInteger, cornerRadius: CGFloat) {
self.init()
let theta = CGFloat(2.0 * M_PI) / CGFloat(sides)
let offSet = CGFloat(cornerRadius) / CGFloat(tan(theta/2.0))
let squareWidth = min(rect.size.width, rect.size.height)
var length = squareWidth - lineWidth
if sides%4 != 0 {
length = length * CGFloat(cos(theta / 2.0)) + offSet/2.0
}
let sideLength = length * CGFloat(tan(theta / 2.0))
var point = CGPoint(x: squareWidth / 2.0 + sideLength / 2.0 - offSet, y: squareWidth - (squareWidth - length) / 2.0)
var angle = CGFloat(M_PI)
move(to: point)
for _ in 0 ..< sides {
point = CGPoint(x: point.x + CGFloat(sideLength - offSet * 2.0) * CGFloat(cos(angle)), y: point.y + CGFloat(sideLength - offSet * 2.0) * CGFloat(sin(angle)))
addLine(to: point)
let center = CGPoint(x: point.x + cornerRadius * CGFloat(cos(angle + CGFloat(M_PI_2))), y: point.y + cornerRadius * CGFloat(sin(angle + CGFloat(M_PI_2))))
addArc(withCenter: center, radius:CGFloat(cornerRadius), startAngle:angle - CGFloat(M_PI_2), endAngle:angle + theta - CGFloat(M_PI_2), clockwise:true)
