Question

I always had the impression the origin of a View defines its position inside a parent view. But in my application the Origin is 0,0 no matter where I move my view on the Interface.

This is the code I use:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    float orginX = rect.origin.x;
    float orginY = rect.origin.y;

    NSLog(@"X-Origin %f.", orginX);
    NSLog(@"Y-Origin %f.", orginY);

Where is my mistake?

Answer 1

The rect passed in to drawRect: is the view’s bounds, not it’s frame, so its origin will be 0,0.
