A quick way to create an UIImage of a solid color for a specified dimension. You can use this bit of code in an Objective-C category to "extend" UIImage.
Raw
UIImage+withColor.m
+ (UIImage *)imageWithColor:(UIColor *)color andBounds:(CGRect)imgBounds {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(imgBounds.size, NO, 0);
[color setFill];
UIRectFill(imgBounds);
UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return img;
}
