I have logo text drawn as shapes (closed CGBezierPaths) that I want to fill with a gradient.(Light at the top, moving to dark at the bottom) How can I fill each shape with gradient such that the gradient is the same color for each shape.
The problem is drawing the gradient for each shape, if the letters are different height then the gradient has a different ramp since the distance is smaller. Hope that makes sense.
So basically I want draw a single gradient down the rect and use all the shapes as a clipping mask. Is this possible?
For gradient drawing - take a look at this project:
https://github.com/wczekalski/CDPieMenu
It creates gradient using two colors programmatically.

I have a list view with "Hero" icons on the left. When I click a list item, it loads the next screen with the article text and the Hero image (which animates nicely/automatically to the correct spot on the 2nd screen).
I would have thought that was the "tough" part, but I'm now trying to get a curved shape as the top background of the 2nd screen. I would love to make it a drawn vector shape, as opposed to a bitmap and even have it drip/bounce onto the page, but at the moment...
I'm just trying to figure out how to:
draw a vector shape
have it as the background of a screen with other widgets on top (see purple curve on 2nd screen below)
I made a full sample for your curved shape in a gist here
I used CustomPainter to draw on a canvas then, with some geometric calculations, I achieved the curved shape.
Final result
How I draw it?
Before coding and on a Whiteboard I determined somethings:
My Canvas Area:
The canvas dimensions I need to draw that shape (which equals to Flutter widget's dimensions).
How and where my brush will move?
how means: what are the APIs I need to draw that shape on the canvas using the Path class.
e.g. lineTo() for a straight line, quadraticBezierTo() for a curve.
where means: Where are the points (coordinates) I need to draw the whole shape. (see yellow and green dots in the image above)
Points (coordinates) Calculations:
I used some geometric equations to calculate the coordinates. e.g. Point on a circle’s circumference
All of my calculations depend on the canvas size, that gives me a responsive shape.

I am trying to implement a metal-backed drawing application where brushstrokes are drawn on an MTKView by textured square repeatedly along a finger position.
I am drawing this with alpha 0.2. When the squares are overlapped the color is added. How can I draw with alpha 0.2.
I think you need to draw the brush squares to a separate texture, initially cleared to transparent, without blending. Then draw that whole texture to your view with blending.
If you draw the brush squares directly to the view, then they will accumulate. After you draw square 1, it's part of the image. Metal can no longer distinguish it from anything else that was already there. So, when you draw square 2 overlapping it, it will blend with what's already there, including square 1.
I have images in rectangle shape. When I use them in CCSprite, they are displayed as in Rectangle shape. But I want to change the shape of rectangle to circle and that circle image should be set in to another circle sprite. As displayed below.
Here, chicken original image is in rectangle shape and another chicken border image is circle. I want that chicken original image to be displayed in circle shape and after fit in to chicken border image that's circle.

you will need to use box2d with cocos2d.

I am drawing CGPath which is not rectangle or square,and adding CGPath to CAShapeLayer. This CAShapeLayer's frame getting from CGPath using CGPathGetBoundingBox(path). So it will be rectangle or square. Now i want to set gradient color to layer but my path is not rectangle or square so it is not spreading gradient color equally in whole CGPath. Is there any way to set gradient color to CGPath or how can i set gradient color with angle?
Please refer screen shot to understand situation. Here white color indicates frame of CGPath and green colour, that is our drawn CGPath. At the bottom of CGPath you can see white gradient colour which is not distributed equally in CGPath.
The start and end points of a linear gradient are specified in points relative to the whole size of the layer, with (0,0) at the top left and (1,1) at the bottom right.
Therefore, to make a linear gradient at an angle, you simply need to set the start and end points appropriately. For example, If you used (0,0) and (1,1) as the start and end points, the gradient would run from the top left to the bottom right, at a 45 degree angle.
Working out the specific start and end points for your needs is therefore just a matter of trigonometry.
I have two shapes in a UIView - one, an ellipse and two, a triangle drawn using UIBezierPath. I need to draw the outline of these two shapes combined. How can I do it?
You can do an "outside" stroke (like stroke->outside in photoshop/pixelmator) by calling stroke to draw the outline and setting the inverse of your shapes as the clipping path first. To do the inverse of the clipping path see this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10639523/461492 (read comments too).
So here are the steps:
Set the full area as the clipping path.
Call CGContextEOClip() for each of your shapes as described in the comments to the answer linked above.
Stroke your shapes.
This might not be exactly what you want - it will draw the stroke as normal but the whole interior (the fill area) of your shapes will not be drawn. So whereas the thickness of the stroke would normally extend within the interior of your shapes, and the internal angles of your stroke would normally have the correct corners (rounded/mitered) - in this case it would be more like you stroked the shapes then deleted the fill-area, or did an "outside" stroke in an image editing program.
