I want to draw more than one straight line in core graphics. or save the line and start a new one. I used two variables for touch location and assigned touch location to them in touch Began,Moved,Ended then I used this:
override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
context?.setStrokeColor(UIColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1.0).cgColor)
context?.setLineWidth(5.0)
context?.move(to: CGPoint(x: firstTouchLocation.x, y: firstTouchLocation.y))
context?.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: lastTouchLocation.x, y: lastTouchLocation.y))
context?.strokePath()
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
firstTouchLocation = touch.location(in: self)
lastTouchLocation = firstTouchLocation
setNeedsDisplay()
}
}
override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
lastTouchLocation = touch.location(in: self)
setNeedsDisplay()
}
}
override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if let touch = touches.first {
lastTouchLocation = touch.location(in: self)
setNeedsDisplay()
}
}
Try drawing the line using CAShapeLayer like so:
func addLine(fromPoint start: CGPoint, toPoint end:CGPoint) {
let line = CAShapeLayer()
let linePath = UIBezierPath()
linePath.move(to: start)
linePath.addLine(to: end)
line.path = linePath.cgPath
line.strokeColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
line.lineWidth = 1
line.lineJoin = kCALineJoinRound
self.view.layer.addSublayer(line)
}
Hope this helps!
