cashapelayer

This is my Xib. I just dragged a UIButton and changed its background color. I created a semi circle layer using this code let circlePath = UIBezierPath.init(arcCenter: CGPointMake(mybutton.bounds.size.width / 4, 0), radius: mybutton.bounds.size.height, startAngle: 0.0, endAngle: CGFloat(M_PI), clockwise: true) let circleShape = CAShapeLayer() circleShape.path = circlePath.CGPath mybutton.layer.mask = circleShape and this is my output. Its perfect as I want it. But the problem is that this button is clickable outside its rounded area(as per actuall shape of button). I want it to be clickable

I'm trying to make a custom shape UIButton using mask layers and I was successful extension UIButton { func mask(withImage image : UIImage , frame : CGRect ){ let maskingLayer = CAShapeLayer() maskingLayer.frame = frame maskingLayer.contents = image.cgImage self.layer.mask = maskingLayer } } But I want to add a border (stroke) to the mask layer to indicate that this button was chosen. I tried adding a sub layer to the mask layer button.mask?.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor button.mask?.layer.borderWidth = 4 but didn't work since the button shape is still rectangle. I know I can use

Thanks to some help on StackOverflow, I am currently animating a path in CAShapeLayer to make a triangle that points from a moving sprite to another moving point on the screen. Once the animation completes, the triangle disappears from the screen. I am using very short durations because this code is being fired every .1 of second for each of the sprites. The result is the red triangle tracks correctly, but it rapidly flashes or isn't there entirely. When I crank up the the duration, I can the see the triangle stay longer. What can I do to get the triangle to stay on the screen, with it's

I am making an image editor which can create different shapes objects like circle, triangle and square which can also be updated or removed. So I have used CAShapeLayer for creating shapes objects. Now I also want to draw a line on image which can also be updated or removed so I have used bezierpath and CAShapeLayer to create the line, it is working fine. BUT now the problem is that when I want to select any existing line it can be selected any where close to line tool because CAShapeLayer also set the fill region which will be a straight line from start point to end point. My question is that
