Question

I would like to truncate one end of a UIImageView by changing the size of the frame dynamically. Of course, if it autoresizes it won’t look ‘truncated’, but will look shrunk. The former is the effect I would like, the latter not.

So far I’ve set up the UIImageView in IB and then hooked it up programmatically using IBOutlet. I then placed this in ViewDidLoad, but still get the autoresizing:

[self.stringImageView setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingNone];
self.stringImageView.frame = CGRectMake(9.0f, 508.0f, 500.0f, 26.0f);

Any ideas how I can clip my UIImageView instead of having it resize?

EDIT 1

It should also be noted that in IB I have deselected Clip Subviews and Autoresize Subviews.

You need to clip the UIImage object first according to imageview’s frame and then set it as image for image view. See also Cropping an UIImage
