Using images

In this recipe, we will learn how to add an image to a view, use an already existing UIImage put an image in a frame, and use modifiers to present beautiful images. The images in this section were obtained from https://unsplash.com/, so special thanks to jf-brou, Kieran White, and Camilo Fierro.
