如何在iOS UIButton中添加投影？

Question

Help of experts is needed

I am making UIButton custom, where I am cropping of background and showing on UIButton as below.

[self setBackgroundImage:[self getSingleColorImageForLinear:self.frame] forState:UIControlStateSelected];




 //Method to make take image
-(UIImage *)getSingleColorImageForLinear:(CGRect)frame{


    CGSize size = CGSizeMake(frame.size.width,frame.size.height);
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, 0);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGColorSpaceRef colorspace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();

    size_t gradientNumberOfLocations = 1;
    CGFloat gradientLocations[1] = { 0.0 };
    CGFloat gradientComponents[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 0.3, };

    CGGradientRef gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColorComponents (colorspace, gradientComponents, gradientLocations, gradientNumberOfLocations);

    CGContextDrawLinearGradient(context, gradient, CGPointMake(0, 0), CGPointMake(0, size.height), 0);


    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    CGGradientRelease(gradient);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorspace);
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return image;

}

Now I want to apply, the property of Drop Shadow, seen in Adobe Photoshop to this Image,

How can I do so using Core Graphics or any Core Foundation of iOS Library?

Drop Shadow of Adobe looks as below

Thanks

Answer 1

button.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
button.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(5, 5);
button.layer.shadowRadius = 5;
button.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5;
