I think I've gotten on the right track. Two issues. One I needed to add the spread * pi to the height and width. That made a huge difference. Thank you for the direction it helped a lot. Given the time to fine tune it exactly I think i might finally have this. I kind of didn't really realize it

Thanks alot, this got me started in the right direction. I still have fine tuning I need to do to get the size and draw point perfect but with some adjustments to the code I have it mostly working. if any one wants to see I can post the new code. On Dec 21, 2009, at 10:23 PM, Henry McGilton (Bo

Then I don't understand how to do this. Do I create the context at this larger size? because that's what I did. Do I drawInRect the image at it's original size? Because that's what I did. As near as I can tell, no matter what I do, the image itself, not accounting for the shadow, is drawn in th

I have changed the code I added: CGSize newSize = rotatingView.bounds.size; newSize.width += (abs(myShadowOffset.width) + spread); newSize.height += (abs(myShadowOffset.height) + spread); CGRect newSelf = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x, self.frame.origin.y

Ok I was wondering if that was what I was doing wrong. I've tried messing with the size of the context but it gives me trouble. Do I need to adjust the size of the UIImageView also? or since clipping is off is it ok in it's original size? Also will the drawing to the offscreen context take place

Ok ok, sorry for double posting. Honestly I'm thinking I'm trying to do something that simply isn't possible though. I'll try my question again. Ok, I have a UIImageView. I am trying to draw a shadow under the UIImage it holds. Now if I make the UIImageView's bounds some ungodly size, like the
