Is there a way to easily export layer styles, created in photoshop, to core graphics code? Maybe a photoshop plugin or a .psd parser for use in xcode. I imagine someone has made (or should make) a process to more easily facilitate the "from design, to code" process. The only thing I could find on google was Opacity which takes illustrator files and outputs core graphics code.
Or maybe a third party program similar to this which creates a familiar layer style interface and exports css code.
Update : Found this today. MooMaskedIconView

If you just want to apply effects to an image, you can use Core Image, which comes with 48 filters. Currently there isn’t a way to build custom filters on the iOS platform, that's a drawback … But to get started I sugesst you to take a look at Ray Wenderlichs tutorial Beginning Core Image in iOS 5 Tutorial.
Another approach is using 3rd party libs. For example ImageMagick, which has a huge feature set :)
I use Save for Web & Devices. Png-24 keep the opacity but there is no facilities for layers. When you save, the LNG becomes what you are looking at. So it's easy to keep several layers in the same Photoshop file.

I wanna build an electron project that will be used to take screenshots and save them. But the main problem is that I don't know how to do this using javascript. I have found a couple of answers but they all included some libraries (mostly html2canvas). So could you give the working code to take screenshots using javascript with no library?
here's how to draw dom into a canvas.
After drawing it on canvas,you can download it by creating canvas's URL.
I want to download the 3D Object-dae(collada) file from server and want to display on surface dynamically so can please share how can I achieve this in ARKit via SceneKit or else?
You can check this link: https://the-nerd.be/2014/11/07/dynamically-load-collada-files-in-scenekit-at-runtime/ it is old post but I don't think something is changed since that
According to this (see the Discussion section): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/modelio/mdlasset/1391813-canimportfileextension?language=objc
dae is not supported at runtime (ModelIO).
Additionally I'm working on a library called AssetKit (In Progress) and it will full support COLLADA and glTF, it is too early to say that but after initial release, you will be able to load dae files dynamically. It is written with C99 but I'll optimize it for Swift (by writing wrappers or integration with SceneKit...). Since it is still in progress I suggest that follow the first link
I already searched the web for a library I can use in my iOS project to show 3D STEP files.
...without success.
Does anyone of you know about a library that can show real 3D STEP files without converting them?
...or does anyone know of an App (that's available in the App Store) that can show STEP files without converting them into another file format before?
Appreciate your help!
Thx,
Dennis
Most STEP files contain BREP/NURBS geometry, which has to be converted to triangles for visualization with graphics libraries like DirectX, OpenGL, or WebGL. For open source, you may want to look at OpenCascade (OCCT and OCE), pythonOCC, FreeCAD, BRL-CAD, and STEPcode.
My goal is to display a simple 3D model and apply a texture on it.
I've downloaded the GLEssentials ios sample project to learn how to develop this (i'm new in ios OpenGL-ES API)
But the example model is a .model file, which I never heard about and which never appear in model bank websites.
What is this kind of file?
is the sample code compatible with other common model types (.obj, .c2d, .3ds)?
is it a good idea to start from this project?
Have a look at this question:
How to convert Blender blend (or obj) file to Qualcom Vuforia .h file
In my answer, I describe a script and accompanying Xcode project that converts .obj/.mtl files to header files suitable for OpenGL ES on iOS [link].
In response to your questions:
I believe the .model file is only appropriate for the sample project and is a proprietary Apple extension. It most likely contains simple data such as vertex positions.
I think you'd struggle to fit other model types into the sample code, which is very complex for OpenGL ES beginners. You might want to have a look at .pod files on Cocos2D here. I've seen and heard great things about it.
I wouldn't recommend it :)
I am thinking of making an application that requires extracting TEXT from an image. I haven't done any thing similar and I don't want to implement the whole stuff on my own. Is there any known library or open source code (supported for ios, objective-C) which can help me in extracting the text from the image. A basic source code will also do (I will try to modify it as per my need).
Kindly let me know if some one has any idea on this.
Thanks,
Vikram
One of the main open source libraries used to do OCR on iOS is a google-sponsored open source project called tesseract.
Here is some info on compiling tesseract for use in iOS apps:

The same guy has a nice sample project on github demonstrating how a simple client might use the compiled library:
