Tiling an image in a UIVIew

Question

I am trying to tile an image for an app I am making. I am making rope that I can set the length for. In order to do this, I have a function that takes my rope length, sets the frame size accordingly, and then sets the background color like this:

(picture is a UIView)

picture.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Rope.png"]];

The view is blank. I tested it before by displaying an image by making picture a UIImageView instead, and it worked, but it won't show up anymore.

EDIT: I have now tried a few different methods of tiling, the best I can get is a stretched image. I need a working way to tile an image and get the output of my tiled image into a UIImage, UIImageView, or UIView.

Answer 1

Not sure what I did wrong but it is working now.
