iOS shape with border and corner cutoff - ios

I have this shape:
http://screencast.com/t/9UUhAXT5Wu
But the border isn't following it at the cutoff - how could I fix it?
This is my code for the current view:
self.view.backgroundColor = color;
CALayer *backgroundLayer = self.view.layer;
CAShapeLayer *mask = CAShapeLayer.new;
mask.frame = backgroundLayer.bounds;
mask.fillColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
CGFloat width = backgroundLayer.frame.size.width;
CGFloat height = backgroundLayer.frame.size.height;
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
int cornerCutSize = 30;
CGPathMoveToPoint(path, NULL, 0, 0);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil, width, 0);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil, width, height - cornerCutSize);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil, width - cornerCutSize, height);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil, width, height);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil, 0, height);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil, 0, 0);
CGPathCloseSubpath(path);
mask.path = path;
CGPathRelease(path);
backgroundLayer.mask = mask;
//add border
CGColorRef borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
[backgroundLayer setBorderColor:borderColor];
[backgroundLayer setBorderWidth:3];

Setting the mask layer doesn't change the shape of the border. You'll need to create two layers and assign one to the mask and stroke one, something like:
CAShapeLayer *mask = [CAShapeLayer new];
mask.frame = backgroundLayer.bounds;
mask.path = path;
backgroundLayer.mask = mask;
CAShapeLayer *stroke = [CAShapeLayer new];
stroke.frame = backgroundLayer.bounds;
stroke.path = path;
stroke.lineWidth = 3;
stroke.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
stroke.fillColor = nil;
[backgroundLayer addSublayer:stroke];

CATransform3D perspective not working on CATransformLayer

Note : Please ignore colors, gradients and size! My concern is perspective is not worked as expected
I am trying to achieve output as bellow,
But when I run my code it is giving me following output
Have a look at my code please :
CATransformLayer *baseLayer = [CATransformLayer layer];
baseLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointZero;
baseLayer.bounds = self.view.bounds;
baseLayer.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.view.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.view.bounds));
[self.view.layer addSublayer:baseLayer];
CALayer *redLayer = [CALayer layer];
redLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
redLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100);
redLayer.position = CGPointMake(0,0);
redLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(1, 0.5); // right
[baseLayer addSublayer:redLayer];
CALayer *blueLayer = [CALayer layer];
blueLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
blueLayer.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 600, 100);
blueLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(1, 0.5); // right
blueLayer.position = CGPointMake(-50,0);
[baseLayer addSublayer:blueLayer];
CATransform3D transform = CATransform3DIdentity;
transform.m34 = -1/80;
transform = CATransform3DRotate(transform, -M_PI_2, 0, 1, 0);
blueLayer.transform = transform;
baseLayer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DRotate(CATransform3DIdentity, degreesToRadians(80), 0, 1, 0);
I Don't what makes this issue resolved but here is my updated code it is working as expected.
CATransformLayer *baseLayer = [CATransformLayer layer];
baseLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointZero;
baseLayer.bounds = self.view.bounds;
baseLayer.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.view.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.view.bounds));
CALayer *redLayer = [CALayer layer];
redLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
redLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1000, 250);
redLayer.position = CGPointMake(0,0);
redLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0.5); // right
redLayer.transform = CATransform3DRotate(CATransform3DIdentity, M_PI_2,0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
[baseLayer addSublayer:redLayer];
CALayer *blueLayer = [CALayer layer];
blueLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;
blueLayer.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 125, 250);
blueLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0.5); // right
blueLayer.position = CGPointMake(0,0);
[baseLayer addSublayer:blueLayer];
CGFloat perspective = -1000.0; //This relates to the m34 perspective matrix.
CATransform3D rotationAndPerspectiveTransform = CATransform3DIdentity;
rotationAndPerspectiveTransform.m34 = 1.0 / perspective;
rotationAndPerspectiveTransform = CATransform3DRotate(newTransform, degreesToRadians(10) , 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
baseLayer.sublayerTransform = rotationAndPerspectiveTransform;

Add image, which drawing with UIBezier or CGContextRef into UIView sublayer

In this code I use CGContextRef to create next picture on my UIView:
CGMutablePathRef arc = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGFloat lineWidth = 16.0;
CGContextRef cont = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextFlush(cont);
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(cont, [UIColor grayColor].CGColor);
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(cont, [UIColor clearColor].CGColor);
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
CGPathAddArc(arc, NULL, cenPoint.x, cenPoint.y, halfWidthInc(-8.0f), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg1*i), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg1*(i+1)), NO);
CGPathRef strokedArc = CGPathCreateCopyByStrokingPath(arc, NULL, lineWidth, kCGLineCapButt, kCGLineJoinMiter, 10);
CGContextAddPath(cont, strokedArc);
}
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
arc = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddArc(arc, NULL, cenPoint.x, cenPoint.y, halfWidthInc(-24.0f), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg2*i), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg2*(i+1)), NO);
CGPathRef strokedArc = CGPathCreateCopyByStrokingPath(arc, NULL, lineWidth, kCGLineCapButt, kCGLineJoinMiter, 10);
CGContextAddPath(cont, strokedArc);
}
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
arc = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddArc(arc, NULL, cenPoint.x, cenPoint.y, halfWidthInc(-40.0f), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg3*i), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg3*(i+1)), NO);
CGPathRef strokedArc = CGPathCreateCopyByStrokingPath(arc, NULL, lineWidth, kCGLineCapButt, kCGLineJoinMiter, 10);
CGContextAddPath(cont, strokedArc);
}
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
arc = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddArc(arc, NULL, cenPoint.x, cenPoint.y, halfWidthInc(-56.0f), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg4*i), DEG_TO_RAD(_deg4*(i+1)), NO);
CGPathRef strokedArc = CGPathCreateCopyByStrokingPath(arc, NULL, lineWidth, kCGLineCapButt, kCGLineJoinMiter, 10);
CGContextAddPath(cont, strokedArc);
}
CGContextDrawPath(cont, kCGPathFillStroke);
But I want to transform in with CATransform3D. For it I must draw this context in sublayer of my UIView (because I want to draw more sublayers on it UIView).
How can I draw this CGContextRef path in separate sublayer of UIView?
I fix it with next construction:
CGPathRef *board = CGContextCopyPath(cont);
_indi1 = [CAShapeLayer layer];
_indi1.frame = self.layer.bounds;
_indi1.bounds = CGRectInset(pathCont, 0, 0);
_indi1.geometryFlipped = YES;
_indi1.path = board;
_indi1.strokeColor = [[UIColor colorWithRed:125.0f/255.0f green:251.0f/255.0f blue:181.0f/255.0f alpha:1] CGColor];
_indi1.fillColor = nil;
_indi1.lineWidth = 1.0f;
_indi1.fillRule = kCAFillRuleEvenOdd;
_indi1.lineJoin = kCALineJoinRound;
[self.layer insertSublayer:_indi1 atIndex:0];
_indi1 - property of superclass with CAShapeLayer type.
It's works, but result looks without smoothing (with raw pixilation).
Like this:
How can i fix it and make picture more smooth?
P.S.: this problem popup when i try to convert CGContext to CAShapeLayer. In first example, when I make it with CGContext this problem has not been. (You can look it in first example on top post)

How to make a UIView with optional rounded corners and border?

I am applying corner radius to a UIView i.e. UIRectCornerTopLeft and UIRectCornerTopRight. When I apply this, the border is gone at the corners. How to avoid this?
This is how I apply border to UIView:
[self.middleView addRoundedCorners:UIRectCornerTopLeft|UIRectCornerTopRight withRadii:CGSizeMake(4, 4)];
self.middleView.layer.borderWidth = 0.5f;
self.middleView.layer.borderColor = [[UIColor colorWith8BitRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:0.25]
And this is a category I am using for applying optional rounded corners:
#import "UIView+Roundify.h"
#implementation UIView (Roundify)
- (void)addRoundedCorners:(UIRectCorner)corners withRadii:(CGSize)radii {
CALayer *tMaskLayer = [self maskForRoundedCorners:corners withRadii:radii];
self.layer.mask = tMaskLayer;
}
- (CALayer*)maskForRoundedCorners:(UIRectCorner)corners withRadii:(CGSize)radii {
CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
maskLayer.frame = self.bounds;
UIBezierPath *roundedPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:
maskLayer.bounds byRoundingCorners:corners cornerRadii:radii];
maskLayer.fillColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
maskLayer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
maskLayer.path = [roundedPath CGPath];
return maskLayer;
}
Try below code it work
Your view which you want to rounded TopLeft and TopRight
UIView *view1 = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 100, 100, 100)];
[view1 setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
[self.view addSubview:view1];
Set Corner as below code
UIBezierPath *maskPath;
maskPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:view1.bounds byRoundingCorners:(UIRectCornerTopLeft | UIRectCornerTopRight) cornerRadii:CGSizeMake(5.0, 5.0)];
CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [[CAShapeLayer alloc] init];
maskLayer.frame = self.view.bounds;
maskLayer.path = maskPath.CGPath;
view1.layer.mask = maskLayer;
OUTPUT IS:
Found this piece of code. Have not actually tried it, but seems like it is what you need.
- (void)drawDashedBorderAroundView:(UIView *)v {
//border definitions
CGFloat cornerRadius = 10;
CGFloat borderWidth = 2;
NSInteger dashPattern1 = 8;
NSInteger dashPattern2 = 8;
UIColor *lineColor = [UIColor orangeColor];
//drawing
CGRect frame = v.bounds;
CAShapeLayer *_shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
//creating a path
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
//drawing a border around a view
CGPathMoveToPoint(path, NULL, 0, frame.size.height - cornerRadius);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, 0, cornerRadius);
CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, M_PI, -M_PI_2, NO);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, frame.size.width - cornerRadius, 0);
CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, frame.size.width - cornerRadius, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, -M_PI_2, 0, NO);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, frame.size.width, frame.size.height - cornerRadius);
CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, frame.size.width - cornerRadius, frame.size.height - cornerRadius, cornerRadius, 0, M_PI_2, NO);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, cornerRadius, frame.size.height);
CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, cornerRadius, frame.size.height - cornerRadius, cornerRadius, M_PI_2, M_PI, NO);
//path is set as the _shapeLayer object's path
_shapeLayer.path = path;
CGPathRelease(path);
_shapeLayer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
_shapeLayer.frame = frame;
_shapeLayer.masksToBounds = NO;
[_shapeLayer setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:#"isCircle"];
_shapeLayer.fillColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
_shapeLayer.strokeColor = [lineColor CGColor];
_shapeLayer.lineWidth = borderWidth;
_shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:dashPattern1], [NSNumber numberWithInt:dashPattern2], nil];
_shapeLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound;
//_shapeLayer is added as a sublayer of the view, the border is visible
[v.layer addSublayer:_shapeLayer];
v.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius;
}
This piece of code adds a dashed line, but you can modify that by _shapeLayer.lineDashPattern.
Unless there is some specific requirement which we're not aware of, the bezier path and mask are unnecessary if all you're trying to do is round the corners and have a border. I would normally just do this:
myView.layer.borderWidth=2;
myView.layer.cornerRadius=5;
Is it that you only want the top corners rounded that you need to not use the layer rounding? If so, why not use that and then overlay a thin view to cover the bottom bit? A bit fiddly, but I find that the more you can rely on the standard controls to draw themselves rather than having to step into core graphics, the better.
Edit: ok, given that it needs to have the bottom corners not rounded, how about if you had a category on UIView with 2 subviews: 1 with 4 rounded corners and another layed over the top (self bringSubviewToFront) which simply covers the rounded view's "footer" with a non-rounded strip, ie a view with equal width and tiny height which is equal to the rounded corner radius. If you have a solid color background then just make both subviews the same; if you have some texture or image background, make them both transparent and put the texture/image on the super view (the parent view who is using your category's specific layout method). Then finally, put the border on that same superview. Should work, let me know what you think.

CAGradientLayer with CAShapeLayer mask not showing

I have the following code:
- (void)setupLayer {
self.faucetShape = [CAShapeLayer layer];
self.faucetShape.strokeColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
self.faucetShape.lineWidth = 2;
self.faucetShape.fillColor = nil;
self.faucetShape.path = [self faucetPath].CGPath; // faucetPath returns a 4 point diamond shaped UIBezierPath*
self.faucet = [CAGradientLayer layer];
self.faucet.mask = self.faucetShape;
self.faucet.colors = #[(id)[UIColor redColor].CGColor, (id)[UIColor redColor].CGColor];
[self.layer addSublayer: self.faucet];
}
But it shows nothing. Not sure what I'm missing (other than my graphic).
(faucet and faucetPath are both properties)
UPDATE
OK, I guess a CAGradientLayer has to have a meaningful frame. I assume a CAShapeLayer's frame isn't as meaningful, since the path can go outside the frame. Adding the following line made it show up:
self.faucet.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 64, 64);
So NOW my question is, is there a way to avoid having to do that? I'd just like the frame of the layer to implicitly be that of the containing View/Layer.
You need to set the frame of the layers. The following code will draw a red circle:
- (void)setupLayer
{
CAShapeLayer *faucetShape = [CAShapeLayer layer];
faucetShape.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100);
faucetShape.strokeColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
faucetShape.lineWidth = 2;
faucetShape.fillColor = nil;
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddEllipseInRect(path, nil, CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100));
faucetShape.path = path;
CGPathRelease(path);
CAGradientLayer *faucet = [CAGradientLayer layer];
faucet.frame = CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 100);
faucet.mask = faucetShape;
faucet.colors = #[(id)[UIColor redColor].CGColor, (id)[UIColor redColor].CGColor];
[self.view.layer addSublayer: faucet];
}

CAShapeLayer drawing path primitives overlay

I need to draw complex shape, something like this:
So I try:
CGFloat offsetAngle = 15 * M_PI/180;
CGPathAddArc(path, nil, 39/2, 30, 39/2-0.1, offsetAngle, -M_PI-offsetAngle, YES);
CGFloat linesXOffset = 2.5;
CGFloat linesYOffset = 30;
CGPathMoveToPoint(path, nil, linesXOffset, linesYOffset);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil, 39-linesXOffset, linesYOffset);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, nil,39/2,//X
linesYOffset + CGRectGetHeight(self.bounds)/2-220/2-linesYOffset);
CAShapeLayer *shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
[shapeLayer setPath:path];
So shape consists of triangle and arc.
But I have the following overlay problem:
Is it possible to fix?
1) Easier:
CGFloat linesYOffset = 35;
2) Another way:
CGFloat offsetAngle = 15 * M_PI/180;
CGMutablePathRef path1 = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddArc(path1, nil, 39/2, 30, 39/2-0.1, offsetAngle, -M_PI-offsetAngle, YES);
CGMutablePathRef path2 = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGFloat linesXOffset = 5.5;
CGFloat linesYOffset = 30;
CGPathMoveToPoint(path2, nil, linesXOffset, linesYOffset);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path2, nil, 39-linesXOffset, linesYOffset);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path2, nil,39/2,//X
linesYOffset + 600/2-220/2-linesYOffset);
CAShapeLayer *shapeLayer1 = [CAShapeLayer layer];
[shapeLayer1 setPath:path1];
CAShapeLayer *shapeLayer2 = [CAShapeLayer layer];
[shapeLayer2 setPath:path2];
CAShapeLayer* container = [CAShapeLayer layer];
[container addSublayer:shapeLayer1];
[container addSublayer:shapeLayer2];
