iOS Development UI Chapter-quartz2d use (draw basic graphics)

A simple explanation

Graphics context: is a cgcontextref type of data

The role of the graphics context: Saving drawing information, drawing state

Decide where to draw the output target (where to draw?) (The output target can be a PDF file, a bitmap, or a display window)

The same set of drawing sequences, specifying different graphics Context, can draw the same image to different targets.

The quartz2d provides several types of graphics Context:

Bitmap Graphics Context

PDF Graphics Context

Window Graphics Context

Layer Graphics Context

Printer Graphics Context

As long as the context is different, the place of drawing is different.

This article shows how to draw a picture onto the bitmap, which requires the creation of a picture that holds the drawing information.

Bitmap is a picture, equivalent to the uiimage of the system. A uiimage is a bitmap.

Second, how to draw the picture to the bitmap?

Note: You cannot get the bitmap context directly in the DrawRect: method, we need to create it ourselves.

Program execution Effect:

When the program finishes executing, a abc.png picture is created at the specified location

Additional notes:

1. How to create a bitmap graphics context

Method 1 Uigraphicsbeginimagecontext (< #CGSize size#>);

Method 2 Uigraphicsbeginimagecontextwithoptions (cgsize size, BOOL opaque, cgfloat scale)

Using two methods can also be created, but using the first method to create future image clarity and quality is not as good as the second method. Method 2 receives three parameters:

Cgsize Size: Specifies how large the bitmap will be created in the future

BOOL opaque: Set transparent yes to represent transparency, no for opaque

CGFloat scale: Represents scaling, 0 for non-scaling

The created bitmap corresponds to a UIImage object

2.QUARTZ2D Memory Management

objects created with a function that contains "create" or "Copy" must be freed after use, or a memory leak will result

Object obtained with a function that does not contain "Create" or "Copy", you do not need to release

If an object is retain and is no longer in use, you need to release it

You can use the Quartz 2D function to specify retain and release an object. For example, if you create a Cgcolorspace object, use the functions Cgcolorspaceretain and cgcolorspacerelease to retain and release the object.

You can also use the Cfretain and cfrelease of the core Foundation. Note You cannot pass null values to these functions
