Draw Ellipse in Swift using UIBezierPath

Question

I have an UIViewController in which I want to draw a ellipse on the screen starting at CGPoint(x:160,y:160), width:240, height:320. How can I do that in swift? I would really much appreciate any help.

Answer 1

I believe this is what you are asking for:

var ovalPath = UIBezierPath(ovalInRect: CGRectMake(160, 160, 240, 320))
UIColor.grayColor().setFill()
ovalPath.fill()

For complex shapes I would suggest checking out PaintCode. It creates the swift code for you as you draw your shapes on screen (it has personally saved me a lot of time in the past).

Edit:

import Foundation
import UIKit

class CustomOval: UView {

    override func drawRect(rect: CGRect)
    {
            var ovalPath = UIBezierPath(ovalInRect: CGRectMake(0, 0, 240, 320))
            UIColor.grayColor().setFill()
            ovalPath.fill()
    }

}

Then :

var exampleView = CustomOval()

And then position it with constraints etc. afterwards.

Swift 4

var ovalPath = UIBezierPath(ovalIn: CGRect(x: 160, y: 160, width: 240, height: 320))
UIColor.gray.setFill()
ovalPath.fill()
