I am trying to provide a shadow effect to my Imageview just like in this image.
but the problem which I am facing it is that the shadow is actually visible from the bottom of the Imageview.
Here is the code which I have done to add the shadow. The color and all is still not matching with this one.
CAGradientLayer *shadow = [CAGradientLayer layer];
shadow.frame = CGRectMake(-100, 70, perspectiveView.frame.size.width,
perspectiveView.frame.size.height - 20);
shadow.startPoint = CGPointMake(1.0, 0.5);
shadow.endPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0.5);
shadow.colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id)[[UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0
alpha:0.4f] CGColor], (id)[[UIColor clearColor] CGColor], nil];
shadow.opacity = 1.0f;
[perspectiveView.layer addSublayer:shadow];
Please provide inputs. Also if the approach is wrong, feel free to guide me to any other approach.
Thanks in advance.
Also can anyone suggest how to provide a 3D border just like in the image which provides a slight width to the image view?
Perhaps, adding a shadow to the layer seems to work. You may want to try something like this:
// perspectiveView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(-50.0f);
perspectiveView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(10, 10);
perspectiveView.layer.shadowRadius = 5.0;
perspectiveView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.6;
perspectiveView.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
You will need to playaround with these values to match your requirements. Hope this helps.
Here is my output:
Try this,
- (void)setShadow {
[perspectiveView.layer setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(-5.0, 5.0)];
[perspectiveView.layer setShadowRadius:5.0];
[perspectiveView.layer setShadowOpacity:1.0];
}
you can use CALayer
class , the layer can manage your visual aspects like background color, border, shadow and with it you can also manage the geometry of it content like size , transform etc .
visual effect(shadowing)
self.yourView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 3);
self.yourView.layer.shadowRadius = 5.0;
self.yourView.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
self.yourView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1;
and you also used it for like self.yourView.layer.frame
(Geometry)

Below code work i have checked properly.
but Shikhar varshney can u check setShadow method call and perspectiveView is not nil.
- (void)setShadow {
perspectiveView.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0
alpha:0.4f] CGColor;
perspectiveView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
perspectiveView.layer.shadowOpacity = 1;
perspectiveView.layer.shadowRadius = 1.0;
perspectiveView.clipsToBounds = NO;
}
