How to clip the rectangle around the circle when drawing with quartz2d? - ios

Question

I made of subclass of UIView called Bubble using which i want to draw a solid circle.Here is the drawRect: rect method
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
// Drawing code
CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// Drawing with a white stroke color
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(ctx, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
// And draw with a blue fill color
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(ctx, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0);
// Draw them with a 2.0 stroke width so they are a bit more visible.
CGContextSetLineWidth(ctx, 2.0);
CGRect rrect = CGRectMake(self.bounds.origin.x, self.bounds.origin.y, self.bounds.size.width, self.bounds.size.height);
CGFloat radius = 30.0;
CGFloat minx = CGRectGetMinX(rrect), midx = CGRectGetMidX(rrect), maxx = CGRectGetMaxX(rrect);
CGFloat miny = CGRectGetMinY(rrect), midy = CGRectGetMidY(rrect), maxy = CGRectGetMaxY(rrect);
// Start at 1
CGContextMoveToPoint(ctx, minx, midy);
// Add an arc through 2 to 3
CGContextAddArcToPoint(ctx, minx, miny, midx, miny, radius);
// Add an arc through 4 to 5
CGContextAddArcToPoint(ctx, maxx, miny, maxx, midy, radius);
// Add an arc through 6 to 7
CGContextAddArcToPoint(ctx, maxx, maxy, midx, maxy, radius);
// Add an arc through 8 to 9
CGContextAddArcToPoint(ctx, minx, maxy, minx, midy, radius);
// Close the path
CGContextClosePath(ctx);
// Fill & stroke the path
CGContextDrawPath(ctx, kCGPathFillStroke);
}
I have taken the code from the apple sample Quartzdemo.
My problem is i am drawing circle inside a rectangle,but still i see the corners of the rectangle drawn.
How to clip them so that i see only circle? please help. i am new to quartz 2d
Here is how i call it in my viewDidLoad of my controller
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.5 green:0.5 blue:0.5 alpha:0.5];
Bubble *bub = [[Bubble alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(210.0, 90.0, 60.0, 60.0)];
[self.view addSubview:bub];
[bub release];
}

Answer 1

Put this is viewDidLoad
bub.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
