Title Body

I would love to know how to color an image (make a white .png red, for example). I have seen various suggestions but never any confirmation that this is actually possible. I have tried this: -(UIImage *)colorizeImage:(UIImage *)baseImage color:(UIColor *)theColor { UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(baseImage.size); CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGRect area = CGRectMake(0, 0, baseImage.size.width, baseImage.size.height); CGContextScaleCTM(ctx, 1, -1); CGContextTranslateCTM(ctx, 0, -area.size.height); CGContextSaveGState(ctx); CGContextClipToMask(ctx, area, baseImage.CGImage); [theColor set]; CGContextFillRect(ctx, area); CGContextRestoreGState(ctx); CGContextSetBlendMode(ctx, kCGBlendModeNormal); CGContextDrawImage(ctx, area, baseImage.CGImage); UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); return newImage; } myImageView.image = [self colorizeImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"whiteImage.png"] color:[UIColor redColor]]; But it doesn't work - the image is still white on the screen.
