Question

What do I have to do, if I need to rotate a UIImageView? I have a UIImage which I want to rotate by 20 degrees.

The Apple docs talk about a transformation matrix, but that sounds difficult. Are there any helpful methods or functions to achieve that?

Answer 1

A transformation matrix is not incredibly difficult. It’s quite simple, if you use the supplied functions:

imgView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(.34906585);

(.34906585 is 20 degrees in radians)

Swift 5:

imgView.transform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: .34906585)
