func imageWithPixelSize(size: CGSize, filledWithColor color: UIColor = UIColor.clearColor(), opaque: Bool = false) -> UIImage {
return imageWithSize(size, filledWithColor: color, scale: 1.0, opaque: opaque)
}
func imageWithSize(size: CGSize, filledWithColor color: UIColor = UIColor.clearColor(), scale: CGFloat = 0.0, opaque: Bool = false) -> UIImage {
let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, opaque, scale)
color.set()
UIRectFill(rect)
