I'm trying to draw a rectangle, which should have black color border of width 5.0, I am getting the rectangle as seen below,
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextStrokePath(context);
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5);
CGContextFillRect(context, rect);
I can make it clear / transparent (white) background instead the green one showing right now with [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor but then it should have black border also.
How do I set the customized border to rectangle?
Set the stroke color and width as desired, for example:
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [UIColor blackColor].CGColor);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 5.0f);
CGContextStrokeRect(context, rect);
If you are also filling the rectangle, do this after filling so the fill doesn't cover up the stroke.

I am trying to draw rounded corners on rectangle in drawRect method using bezier path, but somehow the rounded corner is being shown on inner side of rectangle, instead of both inner and outer sides. Code is given below. Also attached herewith is border that is currently being drawn (outer side of border is not rounded)
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
// Drawing code
CGContextRef context=UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
//Set gray color to whole context
[[UIColor lightGrayColor] set];
CGContextSetAlpha(context,0.7);
UIRectFill(rect);
// Configure the context colors and line
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [UIColor colorWithRed:131./255. green:148./255. blue:219./255. alpha:1.0].CGColor);
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 10.0);
CGSize size=self.bounds.size;
CGFloat radius = 10.0;
CGSize guideSize=CGSizeMake(330, 130);
CGRect guideCoords= CGRectMake(size.width*.5-guideSize.width*.5, size.height*.5-guideSize.height*.5, guideSize.width , guideSize.height);
// Guide drawing
CGContextStrokeRect(context,guideCoords);
// Draw the Text
[kVinGuideMessage drawInRect:CGRectMake(guideCoords.origin.x+kSideMessageMargin, guideCoords.origin.y+guideSize.height+kMarginFromGuide, guideCoords.size.width-2*kSideMessageMargin,40) withFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:16.0] lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping alignment:NSTextAlignmentLeft];
//Get instersection and clear color of inner overlay
CGRect holeRectIntersection = CGRectIntersection(rect,guideCoords);
//----------ADDING ROUNDED CORNERS HERE-----------//
CGPathRef clippath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:guideCoords cornerRadius:radius].CGPath;
CGContextAddPath(context, clippath);
CGContextClip(context);
//------------------------------------------------//
[[UIColor clearColor] setFill];
UIRectFill(holeRectIntersection);
}
The outer corners are being drawn by the CGContextStrokeRect(context,guideCoords); I think. At that point you haven't set a clipping path and your line width is 10 points, so why would the outer corners be rounded? I think you'll have better luck if you set a clipping path (probably not exactly the same clipping path you've got at the bottom) before calling stroke rect on the guideCoords rectangle.
I have to draw many shapes like rectangle, circle, triangle etc.I am drawing them trough core graphics.
It is working fine.
I want to ask suppose I am having an image (square image of say 1024*1024), and now I want my circle to draw as image means like I draw red color circle or other color, so if it is possible to show my image as drawn in the circle, like the image is circle,
My code for normal circle drawing:-
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect{
CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(ctx, [ [UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:0.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:1] CGColor]);
CGContextSetAlpha(ctx, 0.7);
CGContextMoveToPoint(ctx, radius, radius);
CGContextAddArc(ctx, radius,radius, radius, radians(0), radians(360), 0);
CGContextClosePath(ctx);
CGContextFillPath(ctx);
}
I want to draw my image as circle.
Basically I want like we can fill colors in core graphics drawing whether circle, arc, triangle. so is that possible to fill my shape with my image instead of any solid colors.
Is this possible and if yes please suggest me how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
try this out for setting color in CGContextSetFillColorWithColor function [[UIColor alloc]initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"pattern.jpg"]CGColor];
Add a UIView with and rectangular on the image.
In this view, you must draw the hole.
Now i not have the mac and i cannot check, but try to substitute
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(ctx, [ [UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:0.0/255.0 blue:0.0/255.0 alpha:1] CGColor]);
with
CGContextSetBlendMode(currentContext, kCGBlendModeClear);
let me know
I would like to create a UIBezierPath with 10px rounded corners and with gradient fill. How can I acheive this effect?
Here's an image of what I want to do:
As you can see, this square has:
2px black border
10px rounded corners
red to green linear gradient fill
How can I do this programatically without using pattern image color?
Here's how I create the path:
UIBezierPath *border = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:self.bounds cornerRadius:10.0f];
[border setLineWidth:2];
[[UIColor blackColor] setStroke];
[border stroke];
[[UIColor redColor] setFill]; <-- what should I put here?
[border fill];
3 ways that I can think of.
Create a CAGradientLayer and insert it as a sublayer of theView.layer. You can even put a rounded corner radius on the layer. Of course you'll have to import QuartzCore framework.
Do it with CoreGraphics, like so:
CGGradientRef gradient;
CGColorSpaceRef colorspace;
size_t num_locations = 2;
CGFloat locations[2] = { 0.0, 1.0 };
CGFloat components[8] = { 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, // Start color
0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0 }; // End color
colorspace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColorComponents (colorspace, components, locations, num_locations);
CGContextDrawLinearGradient (ctx, gradient, gradientStartPoint, gradientEndPoint, 0);
CGGradientRelease(gradient);
Create an off-screen image context that's one pixel wide and has a gradient, generate the image, then set the background color with colorWithPatternImage.
These are in order of easiest to hardest.
I am new to Objective-C and iOS development. I have a view with some figures drawn by core drawing. Now I want to fill those shapes with color and I don't know the path or context of shape. Does Objective-C have any function like flood-fill or put-pixel so that by having only the stroke color I can fill any shape inside my view.
-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 4.0);
CGColorSpaceRef colorspace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
CGFloat components[] = {1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0};
CGColorRef color = CGColorCreate(colorspace, components);
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, color);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 50, 0);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 0,320);
CGContextStrokePath(context);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorspace);
CGColorRelease(color);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 2.0);
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [UIColor blueColor].CGColor);
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 0, 255, 0, 1.0);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, 100, 100);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 150, 150);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 100, 200);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 50, 150);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, 100, 100);
CGContextStrokePath(context);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 2.0);
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [UIColor blueColor].CGColor);
CGRect rectangle = CGRectMake(60,170,200,80);
CGContextAddEllipseInRect(context, rectangle);
CGContextStrokePath(context);
}
This will make a circle and a square with some common region. I want a particular region to fill with color when a user taps that region.
So you are looking for flood fill in Objective C.
This is my implementation of Scan Line Flood Fill Algorithm.
Github : UIImageScanlineFloodfill
If you want to learn basic of flood fill:
Lode's Computer Graphics Tutorial Flood Fill
I hope this will help you.
Put your drawing code in the question and I can give you a specific answer.
Normally you just need to set a fill color using
[[UIColor redColor] setFill];
And any shapes you draw your core graphics will be filled with that color automatically.
Try this command:-
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [UIColor blueColor].CGColor);
Core Graphics is closely tied to UIView and its drawRect: method and has a C interface. As you point out, you always draw in the current graphics context. I can think of 2 approaches: (1) When the user taps myView, set a property like myView.pointTapped, and in drawRect: find the shape to fill, set a fill color, and fill the closed path using GGGeometry methods.
There is an objective-C alternative: (2) Take a look at UIBezierPath. It's not as comprehensive as drawing in Core Graphics but it can be used in your ViewController implementation.
trying to draw circle divided to dynamically provided number of sectors. In the end my circle should look like pie.
I've created class Circle which contains number of Pies inside. Circle has method - (void)draw which calles [pie draw]; in for (Pie *pie in self.pies) loop.
Implementation of pie looks like this:
- (void)draw {
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
float startAngleRads = degreesToRadians(_startAngle);
float endAngleRads = degreesToRadians(_endAngle);
CGContextBeginPath(context);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 1.0f);
CGContextSetLineCap(context, kCGLineCapRound);
CGContextSetLineJoin(context, kCGLineJoinRound);
CGColorRef strokeColor = [_strokeColor CGColor];
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, strokeColor);
CGColorRef fillColor = [_bgColor CGColor];
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, fillColor);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, _x, _y);
CGContextAddArc(context, _x, _y, _r, startAngleRads, endAngleRads, YES);
CGContextDrawPath(context, kCGPathStroke);
CGContextFlush(context);
}
This draws nice circle with sectors but without any filling of course. When I change last lines to CGContextDrawPath(context, kCGPathStrokeFill); my stroke lines disappears and only last line (last sector) stays at the screen, other parts of circle are filled with bgcolor and no stroke is visible anymore.
The question is: how can I draw completly separated "sectors" (every sector should look like triangle with Arc and Stroke and Fill). I need this because I want to toggle visibility of that sectors but at the moment I cant even figure out how to draw them correctly.
If this is important, all drawing happens on the layer with self.opaque = NO;.
Ok, found my error: had to set NO in CGContextAddArc call.
