CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(),lineWidth);
CGContextSetBlendMode(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGBlendModeClear);

CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), red, green, blue, 1.0);
CGContextBeginPath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());  
CGContextSetShouldAntialias(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), YES);

CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint1.x, lastPoint1.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), currentPoint.x, currentPoint.y);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
imgBlankView.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
