This simple library allows you to easily create and combine various pixelation effects.
Based on a wonderful script by David DeSandro: close-pixelate.desandro.com.

pod 'ClosePixelate', '1.1.2'
There are several Pixelate.create* methods in the
Pixelate
class, allowing to create a pixelated bitmap from CGImage:
let pixelated = Pixelate.create(pixels: bitmap,
layers: PixelateLayer(.square, resolution: 48),
PixelateLayer(.diamond, resolution: 48, offset: 12, alpha: 0.5),
PixelateLayer(.diamond, resolution: 48, offset: 36, alpha: 0.5),
PixelateLayer(.diamond, resolution: 16, size: 8, offset: 4))You also can draw directly on a bitmap or on a canvas, using Pixelate.render* methods.
There are three basic layer types:
| Original |
Square |
Diamond |
Circle |
 |
 |
 |
 |
You can change size, resolution, offset and alpha parameters of each layer:
| resolution = 10 |
resolution = 25 |
resolution = 20, size = 50, alpha = 0.5 |
|
 |
 |
You can also combine several layers into one image:
| square, resolution = 25 |
|
diamond, resolution = 10 |
