optimizing rounded corners performance - iphone

I have the following code in my UITableViewCell:
[self.layer setBorderColor:[UIColor blackColor].CGColor];
[self.layer setShadowRadius:10.0];
[self.layer setCornerRadius:5.0];
UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:self.bounds byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerAllCorners cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(5.0, 5.0)];
[self.layer setShadowPath:path.CGPath];
[self.layer setShouldRasterize:YES];
[self.layer setRasterizationScale:[UIScreen mainScreen].scale];
when I run instrument and set color offscreen - rendered yellow, this causes the cell to be yellow. When I remove the shouldRasterize it doesn't shade the cells to yellow. What are ways to improve this?
This is greatly hurting my scrolling performance. I am just trying to set rounded corners with some shadows in it.

I'm doing rounded corners like this:
self.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor grayColor].CGColor;
self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.05, 0.05);
self.layer.shadowOpacity = 10;
self.layer.shadowRadius = 1.5;
self.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
self.layer.shouldRasterize = YES;
[self.layer setBorderColor: [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor]];
[self.layer setBorderWidth: 5.0];

CAShapeLayer isn't rounding corners and stroke isn't on top

Hi guys I've creates this box, basically the corner radius isn't working & the stroke doesn't show on the top side of the shape either. Is there anyway to get this working?
UIBezierPath* conPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
[conPath moveToPoint:CGPointMake(conX, conY)];
[conPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(conX, conY+50)];
[conPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(conX+220, conY+50)];
[conPath addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(conX+220, conY)];
CAShapeLayer* conLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
conLayer.path = conPath.CGPath;
conLayer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
UIColor *bg = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1 alpha:0.7];
[conLayer setFillColor:bg.CGColor];
[conLayer setStrokeColor:[UIColor grayColor].CGColor];
[[self layer] addSublayer:conLayer];

rounded corners on UIPageViewController

I was wondering if anyone was ever successful in changing the corners of an UIPageViewController (the fancy book turning animation of iBooks) to rounded corners?
I tried this but to no avail:
[self.notebookPages setViewControllers:viewControllers direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:NO completion:NULL];
self.notebookPages.dataSource = self.pageModelController;
self.notebookPages.doubleSided = NO;
[self addChildViewController:self.notebookPages];
// mask
CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
UIBezierPath *roundedPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 332, 480)
byRoundingCorners:UIRectCornerTopRight | UIRectCornerBottomRight
cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(15.f, 15.f)];
maskLayer.fillColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
maskLayer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
maskLayer.path = [roundedPath CGPath];
self.notebookPages.view.layer.mask = maskLayer;
[self.notebookScrollNavigationController.notebook.pages addSubview:self.notebookPages.view];
self.notebookPages.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 332, 480);
[self.notebookPages didMoveToParentViewController:self];
This is all a bit hardcoded (which is obviously bad) but I was just trying to find out if rounded corners would work. However, I only get a non-rounded transparent corner:
Add this import:
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
Now you can use cornerRadius:
self.notebookPages.view.layer.cornerRadius = 6;

Set border around UIImageView

I want to apply two types of border on a UIImageView:
One is the border on the layer of the UIImageView.
Second is the border around the layer of the UIImageView.
How can I do this?
Try
#define kBorderWidth 3.0
#define kCornerRadius 8.0
CALayer *borderLayer = [CALayer layer];
CGRect borderFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, (imageView.frame.size.width), (imageView.frame.size.height));
[borderLayer setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor clearColor] CGColor]];
[borderLayer setFrame:borderFrame];
[borderLayer setCornerRadius:kCornerRadius];
[borderLayer setBorderWidth:kBorderWidth];
[borderLayer setBorderColor:[[UIColor redColor] CGColor]];
[imageView.layer addSublayer:borderLayer];
And don't forget to import QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h
This example will draw a boarder on the layer, but change it's frame slightly to make the border around the layer.
Another way
You must import
#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>
Then add code for your UIImageView
imgView.clipsToBounds = YES;
imgView.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0;
imgView.layer.borderWidth = 2.0;
imgView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
An other way is to add another layer that goes a bit outside of the UIImageView's layer like so :
CALayer * externalBorder = [CALayer layer];
externalBorder.frame = CGRectMake(-1, -1, myView.frame.size.width+2, myView.frame.size.height+2);
externalBorder.borderColor = [UIColor blackColor].CGColor;
externalBorder.borderWidth = 1.0;
[myView.layer addSublayer:externalBorder];
myView.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
Swift 5
Beware when using a UIImageView; masksToBounds = false means the image will spill over
let outsideBorder = CALayer()
outsideBorder.frame = CGRect(x: -1, y: -1, width: myView.frame.size.width+2, height: myView.frame.size.height+2)
outsideBorder.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
outsideBorder.borderWidth = 1.0
myView.layer.addSublayer(outsideBorder)
myView.masksToBounds = false

Glow Effect on rectangle in iPad

I have take a lot of patient and make the rectangle in glow effect as per my requirement.
CALayer *bevelLayer = [CALayer layer];
[bevelLayer setBounds:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 300.0f, 300.0f)];
[bevelLayer setPosition:CGPointMake(300.0f, 550.0f)];
[bevelLayer setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor]];
[bevelLayer setShadowOpacity:1.0];
[bevelLayer setShadowRadius:7.0f];
[bevelLayer setShadowColor:[[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f/255.0 green:126.0f/255.0f blue:255.0f/255.0f alpha:1.0f] CGColor]];
[bevelLayer setShadowPath:[[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:CGRectMake(-10.0f, -10.0f, 310.0f, 310.0f) cornerRadius:5.0f] CGPath]];
[[[self view] layer] addSublayer:bevelLayer];
Instead of adding a new layer, why dont you directly try it on self.view..
Also, shadowOpacity is a value between 0 and 1... So giving 10 is definitely not going to help you.
If you want to try in self.view, here is the code:
self.view.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor greenColor] CGColor];
self.view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(1, 1);
self.view.layer.shadowOpacity = 1;
self.view.layer.shadowRadius = 20;
This way you dont have to worry about the bounds of the layer..

border in UIImageView

I am trying to have an UIImageView bordered like the following:
I have tried using:
[imageView.layer setBorderColor: [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor]];
[imageView.layer setBorderWidth: 2.0];
but then you can't see that gray border on the outside. It has that gray shadow effect on the outside.
How do I do this?
Take a look at the shadow properties of CALayer.
[imageView.layer setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(-1.0, -1.0)];
[imageView.layer setShadowOpacity:0.5];
This question about adding shadows to UIImageView might help
imageView.layer.shadowOpacity=0.6;
imageView.layer.shadowRadius = 0.0;
imageView.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor grayColor].CGColor;
imageView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(-2.0, 1.0);
