UIImageView center and aspect fit

Question

I have added an image view and setting the image to it programmatically.
I am unable to set the image to center and aspect fit the image view.
In other words, I simply want that:
Scale down to fit the image, if the image is larger in size.
Center if small in size.

You can achieve this by setting content mode of image view to UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill.

Then use following method method to get the resized uiimage object.

- (UIImage*)setProfileImage:(UIImage *)imageToResize onImageView:(UIImageView *)imageView
{
    CGFloat width = imageToResize.size.width;
    CGFloat height = imageToResize.size.height;
    float scaleFactor;
    if(width > height)
    {
        scaleFactor = imageView.frame.size.height / height;
    }
    else
    {
        scaleFactor = imageView.frame.size.width / width;
    }

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(CGSizeMake(width * scaleFactor, height * scaleFactor), NO, 0.0);
    [imageToResize drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, width * scaleFactor, height * scaleFactor)];
    UIImage *resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return resizedImage;
}

Swift Version

func setProfileImage(imageToResize: UIImage, onImageView: UIImageView) -> UIImage
{
    let width = imageToResize.size.width
    let height = imageToResize.size.height

    var scaleFactor: CGFloat

    if(width > height)
    {
        scaleFactor = onImageView.frame.size.height / height;
    }
    else
    {
        scaleFactor = onImageView.frame.size.width / width;
    }

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(CGSizeMake(width * scaleFactor, height * scaleFactor), false, 0.0)
    imageToResize.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, width * scaleFactor, height * scaleFactor))
    let resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return resizedImage;
}
