Convert an image to CGBitmapContext

Question

I am relatively new in objective C, it is possible to convert a png image into a CGBitmapContext. If it is, How I can implement it.

Answer 1

While pixel values are not possible to obtain from a UIImage, it can be accessed through CGImage of the UIImage. Have a look at this answer provided in the post. It uses the onTouch method to grab the RGB value at a particular x and y coordinate that the user's finger is on.

Answer 2

That is the solution I found

- (IBAction)handlePans:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)event{
if (event.numberOfTouches==1){

tranx = [event locationInView:self].x;
trany = [event locationInView:self].y;

CGPoint vel = [event velocityInView:self];
    velocityx = vel.x;
    velocityy = vel.y;

// NSLog(@"x: %d y:%d", tranx,trany);
//NSLog(@"velocity x - %f", vel.x);
//NSLog(@"velocity y - %f", vel.y);

_imageselct = [UIImage imageNamed:@"GASOLINE.png"];
CFDataRef pixelData =  CGDataProviderCopyData(CGImageGetDataProvider(_imageselct.CGImage));
const UInt8* data = CFDataGetBytePtr(pixelData);
int pixelInfo = ((workingImage.size.width  * trany) + tranx ) * 4;
float red = data[pixelInfo];
float green = data[(pixelInfo+1)];
float blue = data[pixelInfo + 2];
float alpha = data[pixelInfo + 3];
CFRelease(pixelData);
UIColor* color = [UIColor colorWithRed:red/255.0f green:green/255.0f blue:blue/255.0f alpha:alpha/255.0f];

if ([color getRed:&red green: &green blue: &blue alpha: &alpha]){

    NSLog(@"r: %f g: %f b: %f a: %f", red, green, blue, alpha);
