I’m trying to draw a pill type ellipse, as in Apple’s Mail application which displays the number of emails in the inbox. Any idea why the following isn’t drawing?

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect  {     CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();      CGFloat minX = CGRectGetMinX(rect);     CGFloat minY = CGRectGetMinY(rect);     CGFloat maxX = CGRectGetMaxX(rect);     CGFloat maxY = CGRectGetMaxY(rect);      CGFloat radius = 3.0;      CGContextBeginPath(context);     CGContextMoveToPoint(context, (minX + maxX) / 2.0, minY);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, minX, minY, minX, maxY, radius);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, minX, maxY, maxX, maxY, radius);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, maxX, maxY, maxX, minY, radius);     CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, maxX, minY, minX, minY, radius);     CGContextClosePath(context);      CGContextDrawPath(context, kCGPathFill);     CGContextFillPath(context); }

  1. I think you’ve forgotten to set the fill color.

    Also, see this question for code to do exactly what you require.
