i am working on a cocos2d project in which i draw a rectangle with the help of draw method as following
-(void)draw
{
glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glColor4ub(255, 255, 255, 255);
glLineWidth(2);
CGPoint verticesAll[] = { vertices1, vertices2,vertices3, vertices4 };
ccDrawPoly(verticesAll, 4, YES);
}
now i need to rotate the rectangle when user moves his finger on screen. how can i change all the four cordinates so as to rotate the rectangle according to touches moved .
if i calculate the angle from the center of the screen to one of the axis of rectangle and then accordingly change that particular coordinate but the change in other coordinates won't be the same so how can i achieve that?
vertices1,2,3.. are cgpoints
also on a ccmenu click i need to draw more rectangle .. i am not sure how to call draw method to create more rectangles with different vertices??
If you are using Cocos2D and are subclassing CCNode, then you can just use a CCAction on the object.
For example:
#interface MySquare : CCNode
#end
#implementation MySquare
- (void)draw
{
// your drawing code
}
#end
MySquare *square = [[MySquare alloc] init];
[square runAction:[CCRotateBy actionWithDuration:0.25f angle:360.0f]];

I have a simple rotation gesture implemented in my code, but the problem is when I rotate the image it goes off the screen/out of the view always to the right.
The image view that is being rotated center X gets off or increases (hence it going right off the screen out of the view).
I would like it to rotate around the current center, but it's changing for some reason. Any ideas what is causing this?
Code Below:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
CALayer *l = [self.viewCase layer];
[l setMasksToBounds:YES];
[l setCornerRadius:30.0];
self.imgUserPhoto.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[self.imgUserPhoto setClipsToBounds:NO];
UIRotationGestureRecognizer *rotationRecognizer = [[UIRotationGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(rotationDetected:)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:rotationRecognizer];
rotationRecognizer.delegate = self;
}
- (void)rotationDetected:(UIRotationGestureRecognizer *)rotationRecognizer
{
CGFloat angle = rotationRecognizer.rotation;
self.imageView.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(self.imageView.transform, angle);
rotationRecognizer.rotation = 0.0;
}
You want to rotate the image around it's center, but that's not what it is actually happening. Rotation transforms take place around the origin. So what you have to do is to apply a translate transform first to map the origin to the center of the image, and then apply the rotation transform, like so:
self.imageView.transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(self.imageView.transform, self.imageView.bounds.size.width/2, self.imageView.bounds.size.height/2);
Please note that after rotating you'll probably have to undo the translate transform in order to correctly draw the image.
Hope this helps
Edit:
To quickly answer your question, what you have to do to undo the Translate Transform is to subtract the same difference you add to it in the first place, for example:
// The next line will add a translate transform
self.imageView.transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(self.imageView.transform, 10, 10);
self.imageView.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(self.imageView.transform, radians);
// The next line will undo the translate transform
self.imageView.transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(self.imageView.transform, -10, -10);
However, after creating this quick project I realized that when you apply a rotation transform using UIKit (like the way you're apparently doing it) the rotation actually takes place around the center. It is only when using CoreGraphics that the rotation happens around the origin. So now I'm not sure why your image goes off the screen. Anyway, take a look at the project and see if any code there helps you.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
The 'Firefox' image is drawn using UIKit. The blue rect is drawn using CoreGraphics
You aren't rotating the image around its centre. You'll need correct this manually by translating it back to the correct position
Right now I am trying to draw a polygon in Cocos2d, but I need it over a background, how do I change draw's z-index and make it top priority so that way I can see the line instead of it being covered by the background?
Here is the draw method:
I decided to just make it a line instead of polygon, and adjust the width of it but otherwise it is the same...
-(void) draw {
glColor4f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glLineWidth(5.0f);
ccDrawLine(healthBar[0], healthBar[1]);
}
Use reorderChild function of CCNode. And put your rectangle over background
-(void) reorderChild:(CCNode *) child z:(int) zOrder
In your app delegate, you need to modify your GLView so that it has depth enabled. Then, you should be able to modify the depth of your draw call. In your app delegate, look for something like this:
EAGLView *glView = [EAGLView viewWithFrame:[window bounds]
pixelFormat:kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8 // kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8
depthFormat:0 // GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16_OES
];
Change the 0 to either GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16_OES or GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24_OES.
Edit:
I'm not familiar with OpenGL, but perhaps this page will help you.
Can you let me know what is the best way to draw a line or rectangle on a scene layer using Cocos2d ios4 iphone.
So far have tried Texture2d, but it is more like a paint brush and is not so good. Tried drawing a line using draw method, but previous line disappears on drawing another line.
Basically want to draw multiple horizontal ,vertical, oblique beams. Please suggest. Any code would help a lot .
The code to draw using texture is below:
CGPoint start = edge.start;
CGPoint end = edge.end;
// begin drawing to the render texture
[target begin];
// for extra points, we'll draw this smoothly from the last position and vary the sprite's
// scale/rotation/offset
float distance = ccpDistance(start, end);
if (distance > 1)
{
int d = (int)distance;
for (int i = 0; i < d; i++)
{
float difx = end.x - start.x;
float dify = end.y - start.y;
float delta = (float)i / distance;
[brush setPosition:ccp(start.x + (difx * delta), start.y + (dify * delta))];
[brush setScale:0.3];
// Call visit to draw the brush, don't call draw..
[brush visit];
}
}
// finish drawing and return context back to the screen
[target end];
The rendering is not good esp. with oblique lines as the scaling affects the quality.
Cheers
You could create a separate layer and call the draw method like this:
-(void) draw
{
CGSize s = [[Director sharedDirector] winSize];
drawCircle( ccp(s.width/2, s.height/2), circleSize, 0, 50, NO);
It's for a circle but the principle is the same. This is from a project I made a while back and it worked then. Don't know if anything has changed since.
You need to add draw method to your layer:
-(void) draw {
// ...
}
Inside it you can use some openGL like functions and cocos2d wrapper methods for openGL.
Hint: other methods can be called inside draw method.
But keep in mind that using other name for method
containing openGL instructions, that's not called inside draw mentioned above simply won't work.
Even when called from update method or other method used by scheduleUpdate selector.
So you will end up with something like this:
-(void) draw {
glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glColor4ub(255, 0, 100, 255);
glLineWidth(4);
CGPoint verts[] = { ccp(0,200), ccp(300,200) };
ccDrawLine(verts[0], verts[1]);
[self drawSomething];
[self drawSomeOtherStuffFrom:ccp(a,b) to:ccp(c,d)];
[someObject doSomeDrawingAsWell];
}

I have a buttonsthat I add on a UIImageView. With a method when the user touch the screen
the UIImageView will rotate, I want to know if there is a way to get the new position of the button after the rotation is done.
Right now I'm getting all the time the original position with this method :
-(void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
NSLog(#"Xposition : %f", myButton.frame.origin.x);
NSLog(#"Yposition : %f", myButton.frame.origin.y);
}
Thanks,
This is a tricky question. Referring to the UIView documentation on the frame property it states:
Warning: If the transform property is not the identity transform, the value of this property is undefined and therefore should be ignored.
So the trick is finding a workaround, and it depends on what exactly you need. If you just need an approximation, or if your rotation is always a multiple of 90 degrees, the CGRectApplyAffineTransform() function might work well enough. Pass it the (untransformed) frame of the UIButton of interest, along with the button's current transform and it will give you a transformed rect. Note that since a rect is defined as an origin, width and height, it can't define a rectangle with sides not parallel to the screen edges. In the case that it isn't parallel, it will return the smallest possible bounding rectangle for the rotated rect.
Now if you need to know the exact coordinates of one or all of the transformed points, I've written code to compute them before, but it's a bit more involved:
- (void)computeCornersOfTransformedView:(UIView*)transformedView relativeToView:(UIView*)parentView {
/* Computes the coordinates of each corner of transformedView in the coordinate system
* of parentView. Each is corner represented by an independent CGPoint. Doesn't do anything
* with the transformed points because this is, after all, just an example.
*/
// Cache the current transform, and restore the view to a normal position and size.
CGAffineTransform cachedTransform = transformedView.transform;
transformedView.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
// Note each of the (untransformed) points of interest.
CGPoint topLeft = CGPointMake(0, 0);
CGPoint bottomLeft = CGPointMake(0, transformedView.frame.size.height);
CGPoint bottomRight = CGPointMake(transformedView.frame.size.width, transformedView.frame.size.height);
CGPoint topRight = CGPointMake(transformedView.frame.size.width, 0);
// Re-apply the transform.
transformedView.transform = cachedTransform;
// Use handy built-in UIView methods to convert the points.
topLeft = [transformedView convertPoint:topLeft toView:parentView];
bottomLeft = [transformedView convertPoint:bottomLeft toView:parentView];
bottomRight = [transformedView convertPoint:bottomRight toView:parentView];
topRight = [transformedView convertPoint:topRight toView:parentView];
// Do something with the newly acquired points.
}
Please forgive any minor errors in the code, I wrote it in the browser. Not the most helpful IDE...
I have subclassed MKAnnotationView to create an annotation that basically draws a circle around a point on a map view through override of drawRect. The circle draws fine in the following situations (in the simulator):
On initial load of the map view
On swipe, but only when swipe motion is stopped before touch ends (so that map doesn't "coast" after touch ends)
On pinch zoom
The circle will disappear when any of the following actions occur:
Swipe where map "coasts" after touch ends
Double-tap zoom
The circle will reappear if any of the actions in the "working" group are taken after it has disappeared.
What might cause this? I'm not a draw/display/layout expert (frankly, I'm not an obj C or iPhone expert either).
Here is some slightly simplified code that seems most relevant from my MKAnnotationView subclass:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
// Drawing code
[self drawCircleAtPoint:CGPointMake(0,0) withRadius:self.radiusInPixels andColor:self.circleAnnotation.color];
}
- (void)drawCircleAtPoint:(CGPoint)p withRadius:(int)r {
CGContextRef contextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
float alpha = 0.75;
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(contextRef, 255, 0, 0, alpha);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(contextRef, 255, 0, 0, alpha);
// Draw a circle (border only)
CGContextStrokeEllipseInRect(contextRef, CGRectMake(0, 0, 2*r, 2*r));
}
Did you add this method?
- (void)setAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
[super setAnnotation:annotation];
[self setNeedsDisplay];
}
