How to get a CGPoint from a tapped location?

I'm working on a graphing calculator app for the iPad, and I wanted to add a feature where a user can tap an area in the graph view to make a text box pop up displaying the coordinate of the point they touched. How can I get a CGPoint from this?

Solution

  • you have two way ...

    1.

    -(void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event 
{
  UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject];
  CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:touch.view];
}

    here,you can get location with point from current view...

    2.

    UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tapped:)];
[tapRecognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:1];
[tapRecognizer setDelegate:self];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];

    here,this code use when you want to do somthing with your perticular object or subview of your mainview
