I am attempting to implement a custom view. This view should display an image

  • 0

I am attempting to implement a custom view. This view should display an image surrounded by a gray, rounded rect border. I can get the image to display fine, as well as the border, however, since the border has rounded corners, I need a way to clear those corners such that they correctly display whatever is behind the view. How can I accomplish this?

It seems like I might be able to use CGContextClearRect, but then wouldn’t I have to call this multiple times, reconstructing the area outside of my rounded corner? That sounds overly complicated.

Is there a better way to create this view?

Here is my current code:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {     CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();      // Draw the image. This will completely fill the current rect.     [image drawInRect:self.bounds];      // Ensure we draw completely within our bounds instead of straddling it.     CGRect rrect = self.bounds;     rrect.size.height = rrect.size.height - 1.0;     rrect.size.width = rrect.size.width - 1.0;     rrect.origin.x = rrect.origin.x + (1.0 / 2);     rrect.origin.y = rrect.origin.y + (1.0 / 2);      CGFloat radius = 5.0;     CGFloat minx = CGRectGetMinX(rrect);     CGFloat midx = CGRectGetMidX(rrect);     CGFloat maxx = CGRectGetMaxX(rrect);     CGFloat miny = CGRectGetMinY(rrect);     CGFloat midy = CGRectGetMidY(rrect);     CGFloat maxy = CGRectGetMaxY(rrect);      // Draw the rounded rect border.     CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 0.6, 0.6, 0.6, 1.0);     CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0);     CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 1.0);     CGContextMoveToPoint(context, minx, midy);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, minx, miny, midx, miny, radius);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, maxx, miny, maxx, midy, radius);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, maxx, maxy, midx, maxy, radius);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, minx, maxy, minx, midy, radius);     CGContextClosePath(context);     CGContextDrawPath(context, kCGPathFillStroke); }

    Add the rounded-rect path to the clipping path before drawing the image.
