Answer 1

Create your UIImageView subclass, add some methods which will allow to add point's on user touch (will draw them in drawRect: and also place into C-array) and one method to "commit" line. Commit line will simply go through C-array and draw them in context with CG methods.

Answer 2

You should never draw outside of drawRect:. After detecting a touch, you need to store that information in an ivar and invoke [self setNeedsDisplay] which will call drawRect: at the proper time.

Also, if you are targeting iOS 3.2+ you should consider using gesture recognizers.

Use the following code It will work:-

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

    mouseSwiped = NO;
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];

    if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
        [drawImage setImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"white" ofType:@"png"]]];
        return;
    }

    lastPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
    lastPoint.y -= 20;

}

- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    mouseSwiped = YES;

    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];   
    CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:self.drawImage];
    currentPoint.y -= 20;

    NSLog(@"current Point is x: %d, y: %d",currentPoint.x,currentPoint.y);

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.drawImage.frame.size);
    [drawImage.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.drawImage.frame.size.width, self.drawImage.frame.size.height)];
    CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound);
    CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 5.0);
    CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 0.0, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0);
    CGContextBeginPath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
    CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), currentPoint.x, currentPoint.y);
    CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
    drawImage.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    lastPoint = currentPoint;

}
