I am pretty much clueless when it comes to graphics so I am trying to make a simple drawing view in my iPad using this tutorial as reference:
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132024
The problem I am having is that the points that are drawn on the screen are a couple inches off from where the finger is actually at. I assume this is because it is an iPad app rather than iPhone app, but looking at it with my uneducated eye, I dont see what I need to change.
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = NO;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
drawImage.image = nil;
return;
}
lastPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
lastPoint.y -= 20;
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = YES;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
currentPoint.y -= 20;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[drawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound);
CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 5.0);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
CGContextBeginPath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), currentPoint.x, currentPoint.y);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
drawImage.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
lastPoint = currentPoint;
mouseMoved++;
if (mouseMoved == 10) {
mouseMoved = 0;
}
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
drawImage.image = nil;
return;
}

This code should work pretty much the same in both ipad and iphone...from looking at the code you are subtracting 20 from the point that was picked up...lastPoint.y -= 20, so i wouldnt expect any drawing to occur right where the user touched it due to that piece of code...also as i already said... this code should work the same in both ipad and iphone...
Rather dumb problem on my part - in IB, I had never rotated the view from horizontal (which they always default to for some reason) to vertical.

I am drawing the signatures using the touch event i have got the code from forum it works fine but problem is that it does not draw line correct like if we draw line as ali the it collapse ali in the line here is my code
here is the screen of my drawing

You can add button on pressing of that button a arrow is add on the screen and you can rotate and resize using touch.
I am new to iPhone development,
I am making an application in which i am trying to make a line that is straight so that it doesn't has any irregular curves it must be smooth
I have used core graphics but it doesn't seem to be working.
Screen shot
I Just want to make these lines drawn in red color with UITouch to be straight.
Should I go for openGl?
If yes, how can i implement.
drawImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:nil];
drawImage.frame = viewField.frame;
[self.view addSubview:drawImage];

mouseSwiped = NO;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
drawImage.image = nil;
return;
}
lastPoint = [touch locationInView:viewField];
//lastPoint.y = 20;
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = YES;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:viewField];
//currentPoint.y -= 20; // only for 'kCGLineCapRound'
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(viewField.frame.size);
//Albert Renshaw - Apps4Life

Thanks in Advance !
Judging by the image you posted, I suggest you change your approach.
Start drawing by double clicking.
Then tap (= touchesStarted and touchesEnded, not touchesMoved) on every single edge point in your polygon.
Draw a straight line between those points as you go along.
End the polygon by Double Clicking.
You could decide to close you path automatically if the end point is close enough to the start point.
I'm developing an iOs 5 app where you can paint on a UIImageView inside a subview of the main view. When you paint the first 30px of the line doesn't follow your stroke. But what is really rare is that if you size up the ImageView and make it's size as all the screen 460x320 (although you don't see the full ImageView because is bigger than the view where it's inside.) it works fine. So maybe has a solution. That's my code:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = NO;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
drawImage.image = nil;
return;
}
lastPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
lastPoint.y -= 10;
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = YES;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:self.drawImage];
currentPoint.y -= 10; // only for 'kCGLineCapRound'
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.drawImage.frame.size);
[drawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, drawImage.frame.size.width, drawImage.frame.size.height)]; //originally self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height)];
CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound); //kCGLineCapSquare, kCGLineCapButt, kCGLineCapRound
CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 5); // for size
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0); //values for R, G, B, and Alpha
CGContextBeginPath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), currentPoint.x, currentPoint.y);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
drawImage.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
lastPoint = currentPoint;
mouseMoved++;
if (mouseMoved == 10) {
mouseMoved = 0;
}
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
drawImage.image = nil;
return;
}
if(!mouseSwiped) {
//if color == green
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.drawImage.frame.size);
[drawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, drawImage.frame.size.width, drawImage.frame.size.height)]; //originally self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height)];
CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound); //kCGLineCapSquare, kCGLineCapButt, kCGLineCapRound
CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 5);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
CGContextFlush(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
drawImage.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
}
}
The problem is that the first touchesMoved: is delayed by the API. I'm not sure anybody has been able to work around this issue yet.
Please file a bug report at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/
The real problem in your case is a simple mistake, though: You're using two different coordinate systems in touchesBegan: and touchesMoved:.
touchesBegan:
lastPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
//////////
touchesMoved:
CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:self.drawImage];

I am new to iphone development and can use the quartz2D using the code below to draw a line.
I want to realize the function that draws a line above a picture (image), for example I have a map image the name is: map.jpg (using the imageview to add).
Can you tell me the detailed code or method? Thanks in advance!
Code:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
Use this code to draw a line.
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
mouseSwiped = NO;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
drawImage.image = nil;
return;
}
lastPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
lastPoint.y -= 20;
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
mouseSwiped = YES;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
currentPoint.y -= 20;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[drawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];

I am working on my application, I want to hide the bottom toolbar so I can draw where that is, but I can't figure out how to do this.
Also, I used a tutorial to help with the drawing, but I can't figure out why it is stopping the drawing at the top of the screen.

In your viewDidLoad you have:
drawImage.frame = self.view.frame;
To get rid of the gap at the top of your drawing, you should actually have:
drawImage.frame = self.view.bounds;
To understand why this works, you need to understand what the meaning of frame versus bounds is. See perhaps this question: Do I have the right understanding of frames and bounds in UIKit?
As for getting rid of the toolbar -- you need to tell us more about how your UI is set up. Is the view in your screenshot set up in interface builder?
