CreateAnimatedImage(String, UIEdgeInsets, UIImageResizingMode, Double)

Factory method to create an animated image with end caps and the specified resizingMode.

[Foundation.Export("animatedResizableImageNamed:capInsets:resizingMode:duration:")]
[ObjCRuntime.Introduced(ObjCRuntime.PlatformName.iOS, 6, 0, ObjCRuntime.PlatformArchitecture.All, null)]
[ObjCRuntime.ThreadSafe]
public static UIKit.UIImage CreateAnimatedImage (string name, UIKit.UIEdgeInsets capInsets, UIKit.UIImageResizingMode resizingMode, double duration);

static member CreateAnimatedImage : string * UIKit.UIEdgeInsets * UIKit.UIImageResizingMode * double -> UIKit.UIImage

Parameters

name

String

The path and filename of images to load, without the suffix (i.e. .JPG)

capInsets

UIEdgeInsets

This argument lets you specify the top, left, bottom and right inset (the sizes of your images).

resizingMode

UIImageResizingMode

Controls whether the areas are stretched or tiled.

duration

Double

Duration of the animation.

Returns

UIImage

Attributes

ExportAttribute IntroducedAttribute ThreadSafeAttribute

Remarks

Consider the following image, the capInsets specify these borders:

The resizing mode controls whether the image is stretched or tiled

CreateAnimatedImage(String, Double)

Creates an animated image from a series of files.

[Foundation.Export("animatedImageNamed:duration:")]
[ObjCRuntime.ThreadSafe]
public static UIKit.UIImage CreateAnimatedImage (string name, double duration);

static member CreateAnimatedImage : string * double -> UIKit.UIImage

Parameters

name

String

The path and filename of images to load, without the suffix (i.e. .JPG)

duration

Double

How long the animation will last.

Returns

UIImage

A single animated image.

Attributes

ExportAttribute ThreadSafeAttribute

Remarks

All images that are to be loaded should be of the same size and scale. This method will load files by appending an integer (in the range of 0-1024) to the end of file and loading that file. For example, if name was 'my_image', this method will create an animation of all files from 'my_image0' to 'my_image1024' inclusive.

This can be used from a background thread.

CreateAnimatedImage(UIImage[], Double)

This method will create a animated image from a collection of images.

[Foundation.Export("animatedImageWithImages:duration:")]
[ObjCRuntime.ThreadSafe]
public static UIKit.UIImage CreateAnimatedImage (UIKit.UIImage[] images, double duration);

static member CreateAnimatedImage : UIKit.UIImage[] * double -> UIKit.UIImage

Parameters

images

UIImage[]

A collection of UIImages to make up the animation.

duration

Double

The dureation of the animation in seconds.

Returns

UIImage

Attributes

ExportAttribute ThreadSafeAttribute

Remarks

The source images should all be the same size and scale.

This can be used from a background thread.
