UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect
+ (UIBezierPath *)bezierPathWithOvalInRect:(CGRect)rect
Parameters
rect
The rectangle in which to inscribe an oval.
Return Value
A new path object with the oval path.
Discussion of [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect]
This method creates a closed subpath that approximates the oval using a sequence of Bézier curves. The path is created in a clockwise direction (relative to the default coordinate system). If the rect parameter specifies a square, the inscribed path is a circle.
UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect example.
//BezierPath
UIBezierPath *bezierPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
// Create an image context containing the original UIImage.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(_imgTemp.image.size);
// Clip to the bezier path and clear that portion of the image.
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextAddPath(context,bezierPath.CGPath);
CGContextClip(context);
// Draw here when the context is clipped
[_imgTemp.image drawAtPoint:CGPointZero];
// Build a new UIImage from the image context.
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
self._imgTemp.image = newImage;
UIBezierPath *bezierPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
// Create an image context containing the original UIImage.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(_imgTemp.image.size);
// Clip to the bezier path and clear that portion of the image.
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextAddPath(context,bezierPath.CGPath);
CGContextClip(context);
// Draw here when the context is clipped
[_imgTemp.image drawAtPoint:CGPointZero];
// Build a new UIImage from the image context.
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
self._imgTemp.image = newImage;
Example of [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect].
You can draw it using either fill or stroke methods for example in custom view's drawInRect: implementation:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
// Drawing code
UIBezierPath *circle = [UIBezierPath
bezierPathWithOvalInRect:CGRectMake(75, 100, 200, 200)];
[circle fill];
}
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
// Drawing code
UIBezierPath *circle = [UIBezierPath
bezierPathWithOvalInRect:CGRectMake(75, 100, 200, 200)];
[circle fill];
}
