Merge two UIImage to make single UIImage.


- (UIImage*)mergeImage:(UIImage*)first withImage:(UIImage*)second
{
 // get size of the first image
 CGImageRef firstImageRef = first.CGImage;
 CGFloat firstWidth = CGImageGetWidth(firstImageRef);
 CGFloat firstHeight = CGImageGetHeight(firstImageRef);

 // get size of the second image
 CGImageRef secondImageRef = second.CGImage;
 CGFloat secondWidth = CGImageGetWidth(secondImageRef);
 CGFloat secondHeight = CGImageGetHeight(secondImageRef);

 // build merged size
 CGSize mergedSize = CGSizeMake(MAX(firstWidth, secondWidth), MAX(firstHeight, secondHeight));

 // capture image context ref
 UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(mergedSize);

 //Draw images onto the context
 [first drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, firstWidth, firstHeight)];
 [second drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, secondWidth, secondHeight)]; 

 // assign context to new UIImage
 UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();

 // end context
 UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

 return newImage;
}
