Passing UIImage between Classes

[TheFlyingDutchman]

Hi all,

I'm trying to pass a UIImage from one class to another either through a function

-(void)setImage:(UIImage *)image;

(which does not work) and through a property, which too does not work. When I go to print out what the image passed looks like:

NSLog(@"Image is: %@", myImageClass.image);

It returns (null).

Please help!

Post the code where you are passing the image. And what kind of property is it?

I pretty much gave you the code, but if you insist:

@property (nonatomic, retain)UIImage *image;

But I also have this function in the other class were the users sets the image of the person:

-(void)setImageOfPerson:(UIImage *)image3{

	[image setImage:image3];
	
}

So it gets called:

[setupClass setImageOfPerson:imageOfPerson1];

Thanks for your help!

Assuming this is passing to a class just for the class to do something behind the scenes (not passing to another view controller)

        UIImage *image=[ UIImage imageNamed: @"backPattern2.png"];
        UIImage *coloredImage = [tintImage colorizeImage: image color: color];  
        self->tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:coloredImage];

will pass the image to the 'tintImage' class

If it was to a view controller I would pass using init. There's a good core data sample out there called cities showing this technique.

Yes, it is passing it to a View (XIB) with a class in it. Is there a way I could maybe manage to save it into a Dictionary, or through a function?
