cgpath

I am trying to import paths from a vector drawing program into the ios environment. I would like to get them into CGpaths or UIbezierpaths. I am most interested in importing paths from adobe illustrator. The best way seems to save as an svg and then import. I have found some resources for parsing exported SVG files that describe the paths. However, everything I have found only deals with absolute paths and not relative paths. The path below has capital C's and lowercase C's. I know how to parse the capital C (absolute paths) but I have no idea how to parse the lowercase c's (relative paths) I

Objective I am attempting to create an animated approximation of human writing, using a UIBezierPath generated from a glyph. I understand and I have read the many UIBezierPath questions which sound similar to mine (but are not the same). My goal is to create an animation that approximates the look of a human performing the writing of characters and letters. Background I've created a playground that I am using to better understand paths for use in animating glyphs as if they were drawn by hand. A couple of concepts in the Apple CAShapeLayer (strokeStart and strokeEnd) really don't seem to

Through help and suggestions, I created a path for my sprite so that only the non-transparent parts can be touched. This is the path I came up with: path = CGPathCreateMutable(); CGPathMoveToPoint(path, NULL, endTouch.x, endTouch.y); CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, 0, 250); CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, 30, 0); CGPathCloseSubpath(path); This works for all my other classes except for one. No matter where I tap, xcode keeps printing "outside" using this code: for(int i = 0; i < [sprArray count]; i++) { CCSprite *sprite = (CCSprite *)[sprArray objectAtIndex:i]; if(CGRectContainsPoint([sprite

I am trying to render text to a shape that isn't a rectangle. The following code works when I add a rectangular path but not when I add an elliptical path. Ultimately, I'd like to draw to any path (L shape, etc), has anyone had any luck with this? -(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextSetTextMatrix(context, CGAffineTransformIdentity); CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable(); float w = 200.0; float h = 300.0; CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(10.0, 10.0, w, h); // I draw using only one of the following lines CGPathAddRect(path, NULL, bounds

I am working on CAShapeLayer .And trying to draw non-linear path.I want to set frame to CAShapeLayer .So i can use CGPathGetPathBoundingBox method to get frame from CGPathRef . Here is code : CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable(); CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, rect.size.width/2, rect.size.height/2, 100, (0), (M_PI_2), NO); CGPathAddArc(path, NULL, rect.size.width/2, rect.size.height/2, 100-50, (M_PI_2), (0), YES); CGPathCloseSubpath(path); CAShapeLayer* arcLayer = [[CAShapeLayer alloc]init]; arcLayer.path = path; arcLayer.frame = CGPathGetPathBoundingBox(path); arcLayer.bounds =
