The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
I don't think there is a nice predefined way to do this. However, this question has the code necessary to do it using line segments:

There is no prepackaged way to this, you must combine arcs in order to do this, apples quartzdemo project shows the code to do this, here is a reference Quartz Demo and here is the code they provide
ReplyDelete// As a bonus, we'll combine arcs to create a round rectangle!
// Drawing with a white stroke color
CGContextRef context=UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
// If you were making this as a routine, you would probably accept a rectangle
// that defines its bounds, and a radius reflecting the "rounded-ness" of the rectangle.
CGRect rrect = CGRectMake(210.0, 90.0, 60.0, 60.0);
CGFloat radius = 10.0;
// NOTE: At this point you may want to verify that your radius is no more than half
// the width and height of your rectangle, as this technique degenerates for those cases.
// In order to draw a rounded rectangle, we will take advantage of the fact that
// CGContextAddArcToPoint will draw straight lines past the start and end of the arc
// in order to create the path from the current position and the destination position.
// In order to create the 4 arcs correctly, we need to know the min, mid and max positions
// on the x and y lengths of the given rectangle.
CGFloat minx = CGRectGetMinX(rrect), midx = CGRectGetMidX(rrect), maxx = CGRectGetMaxX(rrect);
CGFloat miny = CGRectGetMinY(rrect), midy = CGRectGetMidY(rrect), maxy = CGRectGetMaxY(rrect);
// Next, we will go around the rectangle in the order given by the figure below.
// minx midx maxx
// miny 2 3 4
// midy 1 9 5
// maxy 8 7 6
// Which gives us a coincident start and end point, which is incidental to this technique, but still doesn't
// form a closed path, so we still need to close the path to connect the ends correctly.
// Thus we start by moving to point 1, then adding arcs through each pair of points that follows.
// You could use a similar tecgnique to create any shape with rounded corners.
// Start at 1
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, minx, midy);
// Add an arc through 2 to 3
CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, minx, miny, midx, miny, radius);
// Add an arc through 4 to 5
CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, maxx, miny, maxx, midy, radius);
// Add an arc through 6 to 7
CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, maxx, maxy, midx, maxy, radius);
// Add an arc through 8 to 9
CGContextAddArcToPoint(context, minx, maxy, minx, midy, radius);
// Close the path
CGContextClosePath(context);
// Fill & stroke the path
CGContextDrawPath(context, kCGPathFillStroke);
Instead of making your own path out of lines and arcs, you can use
ReplyDelete[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:cornerRadius:]
or
[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:byRoundingCorners:cornerRadii:]
(the second one lets you specify which corners are rounded)
Available in iOS 3.2 or later.
