Instance Method

recommendedLayerContentsScale:

Returns the recommended layer contents scale for this image.

Declaration

- (CGFloat)recommendedLayerContentsScale:(CGFloat)preferredContentsScale;

Parameters

preferredContentsScale

The preferred layer contents scale. Don't use a higher scale factor if the image can't provide it. If the image is resolution independent the return value will be the same as the input. If you specify 0.0 for this parameter, the method uses the scale factor for the default screen.

Return Value

The recommended layer contents scale. This scale factor may be different than the one in the preferredContentsScale parameter.

Discussion

Use this method to obtain the scale factor value that you pass to the layerContentsForContentsScale: method. This method uses the image data to determine the scale factor that is best suited for creating an image that looks good in the layer.
