Introduction

In this article I will create a Single View application. In this article I will implement a drawing app using a touch event. In this article I will use an image view where we will draw the design and to clear the screen. In this article we use a clear button.

To understand it we use the following..

Step 1

Open XCode by double-clicking on it.

Step 2

Create a New XCode Project by clicking on it.

Step 3

Now select Single View Application and click on Next.

Step 4

Now provide your Product Name and Company Identifier.

Step 5

Select the location where you want to save your project and click on Create.

Step 6

Now here we write the code.

ViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface ViewController : UIViewController
{
CGPoint point;
UIImageView *image;
BOOL mouseSwiped;
int mouseMoved;
}
@property (strong, nonatomic)IBOutlet UIImageView *image;
@end

ViewController.m

#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
@end
@implementation ViewController
@synthesize image;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
// Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview.
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
#pragma mark – View lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
mouseMoved = 0;
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = NO;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
image.image = nil;
return;
}
point = [touch locationInView:self.view];
point.y -= 20;
}
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
mouseSwiped = YES;
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint currentPoint = [touch locationInView:self.view];
currentPoint.y -= 20;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[image.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width,
self.view.frame.size.height)];
CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound);
CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 5.0);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
CGContextBeginPath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), point.x, point.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), currentPoint.x, currentPoint.y);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
image.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
point = currentPoint;
mouseMoved++;
if (mouseMoved == 10) {
mouseMoved = 0;
}
}
- (IBAction)ClearScreen:(id)touchesEnded {
image.image = nil;
}
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
if ([touch tapCount] == 2) {
// image.image = nil;
return;
}
if(!mouseSwiped) {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.frame.size);
[image.image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width,
self.view.frame.size.height)];
CGContextSetLineCap(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), kCGLineCapRound);
CGContextSetLineWidth(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 5.0);
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
CGContextMoveToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), point.x, point.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), point.x, point.y);
CGContextStrokePath(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
CGContextFlush(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext());
image.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
}
}
- (void)viewDidUnload
{
[super viewDidUnload];
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
// e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
