Iphone – How to get UIImage from texture of an EAGLView

core-graphicseaglviewiphoneopengl-esuiimage

I am trying to get a UIImage from a texture I loaded into EAGLView using the following way:

//Try to get UIImage from EAGLView and assign to imageDataPhoto1

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(myEAGLView.bounds.size);
[myEAGLView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
imageDataPhoto1 = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

[imageDataPhoto1 retain];

Unfortunately when I assign the resulting UIImage (imageDataPhoto1) to a UIImageView it is just blank black. Should I be doing something else? By the way, I load an image from the camera to be the texture of the EAGLView in the following method (Code belongs to Apple):

——-from Texture.m ——

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "Texture.h"


static unsigned int nextPOT(unsigned int x)
{
    x = x - 1;
    x = x | (x >> 1);
    x = x | (x >> 2);
    x = x | (x >> 4);
    x = x | (x >> 8);
    x = x | (x >>16);
    return x + 1;
}


// This is not a fully generalized image loader. It is an example of how to use
// CGImage to directly access decompressed image data. Only the most commonly
// used image formats are supported. It will be necessary to expand this code
// to account for other uses, for example cubemaps or compressed textures.
//
// If the image format is supported, this loader will Gen a OpenGL 2D texture object
// and upload texels from it, padding to POT if needed. For image processing purposes,
// border pixels are also replicated here to ensure proper filtering during e.g. blur.
//
// The caller of this function is responsible for deleting the GL texture object.
