drawing dashed line using CALayer

Question

I was able to draw a dashed box, using the following code:

CAShapeLayer *shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
CGRect shapeRect = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 200.0f,         


        

Answer 1

Try this code, it works for me,

Swift 3.0

extension UIView {
    func addDashedLine(strokeColor: UIColor, lineWidth: CGFloat) {

        backgroundColor = .clear

        let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
        shapeLayer.name = "DashedTopLine"
        shapeLayer.bounds = bounds
        shapeLayer.position = CGPoint(x: frame.width / 2, y: frame.height / 2)
        shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
        shapeLayer.strokeColor = strokeColor.cgColor
        shapeLayer.lineWidth = lineWidth
        shapeLayer.lineJoin = kCALineJoinRound
        shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [4, 4]

        let path = CGMutablePath()
        path.move(to: CGPoint.zero)
        path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: frame.width, y: 0))
        shapeLayer.path = path

        layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
    }
}
