Functions

CGAffineTransformFromString

Returns a Core Graphics affine transform structure corresponding to the data in a given string.

CGAffineTransform CGAffineTransformFromString (

   NSString *string

);
Parameters
string

A string whose contents are of the form “{a, b, c, d, tx, ty}”, where a, b, c, d, tx, and ty are the floating-point component values of the CGAffineTransformdata structure. An example of a valid string is @”{1,0,0,1,2.5,3.0}”. The string is not localized, so items are always separated with a comma. For information about the position of each value in the transform array, see CGAffineTransform Reference.

Return Value

A Core Graphics affine transform structure. If the string is not well-formed, the function returns the identity transform.

Discussion

In general, you should use this function only to convert strings that were previously created using the NSStringFromCGAffineTransform function.

UIAccessibilityRequestGuidedAccessSession

Transitions the app to or from Single App mode asynchronously.

void UIAccessibilityRequestGuidedAccessSession(BOOL enable, void(^completionHandler)(BOOL didSucceed))
Parameters
enable

Specify YES to put the device into Single App mode for this app or NO to exit Single App mode.

completionHandler

The block that notifies your app of the success or failure of the operation. This block takes the following parameter:

didSucceed

If YES, the app transitioned to or from Single App mode successfully. If NO, the app or device is not eligible for Single App mode or there was some other error.

Discussion

You can use this method to lock your app into Single App mode and to release it from that mode later. For example, a test-taking app might enter this mode at the beginning of a test and exit it when the user completes the test. Entering Single App mode is supported only for devices that are supervised using Mobile Device Management (MDM), and the app itself must be enabled for this mode by MDM. You must balance each call to enter Single App mode with a call to exit that mode.

Because entering or exiting Single App mode might take some time, this method executes asynchronously and notifies you of the results using thecompletionHandler block.

UIApplicationMain

This function is called in the main entry point to create the application object and the application delegate and set up the event cycle.

int UIApplicationMain (

   int argc,

   char *argv[],

   NSString *principalClassName,

   NSString *delegateClassName

);
Parameters
argc

The count of arguments in argv; this usually is the corresponding parameter to main.

argv

A variable list of arguments; this usually is the corresponding parameter to main.

principalClassName

The name of the UIApplication class or subclass. If you specify nil, UIApplication is assumed.

delegateClassName

The name of the class from which the application delegate is instantiated. If principalClassName designates a subclass of UIApplication, you may designate the subclass as the delegate; the subclass instance receives the application-delegate messages. Specify nil if you load the delegate object from your application’s main nib file.

Return Value

Even though an integer return type is specified, this function never returns. When users exits an iOS application by pressing the Home button, the application moves to the background.

Discussion

This function instantiates the application object from the principal class and instantiates the delegate (if any) from the given class and sets the delegate for the application. It also sets up the main event loop, including the application’s run loop, and begins processing events. If the application’s Info.plist file specifies a main nib file to be loaded, by including the NSMainNibFile key and a valid nib file name for the value, this function loads that nib file.

Despite the declared return type, this function never returns. For more information on how this function behaves, see ““Core App Objects”” in iOS App Programming Guide.

UIGraphicsAddPDFContextDestinationAtPoint

Creates a jump destination in the current page.

void UIGraphicsAddPDFContextDestinationAtPoint (

   NSString *name,

   CGPoint point

);
Parameters
name

The name of the destination point. The name you assign is local to the PDF document and is what you use when creating links to this destination.

point

A point on the current page of the PDF context.

Discussion

This function marks the specified point in the current page as the destination of a jump. When the user taps a link that takes them to this jump destination, the PDF document scrolls until the specified point is visible.

If the current graphics context is not a PDF context, this function does nothing.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext

Creates a bitmap-based graphics context and makes it the current context.

void UIGraphicsBeginImageContext (

   CGSize size

);
Parameters
size

The size of the new bitmap context. This represents the size of the image returned by the UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext function.

Discussion

This function is equivalent to calling the UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions function with the opaque parameter set to NO and a scale factor of1.0.

In iOS 4 and later, you may call this function from any thread of your app.

Availability
  • Available in iOS 2.0 and later.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions

Creates a bitmap-based graphics context with the specified options.

void UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(

   CGSize size,

   BOOL opaque,

   CGFloat scale

);
Parameters
size

The size (measured in points) of the new bitmap context. This represents the size of the image returned by theUIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext function. To get the size of the bitmap in pixels, you must multiply the width and height values by the value in the scale parameter.

opaque

A Boolean flag indicating whether the bitmap is opaque. If you know the bitmap is fully opaque, specify YES to ignore the alpha channel and optimize the bitmap’s storage. Specifying NO means that the bitmap must include an alpha channel to handle any partially transparent pixels.

scale

The scale factor to apply to the bitmap. If you specify a value of 0.0, the scale factor is set to the scale factor of the device’s main screen.

Discussion

You use this function to configure the drawing environment for rendering into a bitmap. The format for the bitmap is as follows:

  • For bitmaps created in iOS 3.2 and later, the drawing environment uses the premultiplied ARGB format to store the bitmap data. If the opaque parameter isYES, the bitmap is treated as fully opaque and its alpha channel is ignored.

  • For bitmaps created in iOS 3.1.x and earlier, the drawing environment uses the premultiplied RGBA format to store the bitmap data.

The environment also uses the default coordinate system for UIKit views, where the origin is in the upper-left corner and the positive axes extend down and to the right of the origin. The supplied scale factor is also applied to the coordinate system and resulting images. The drawing environment is pushed onto the graphics context stack immediately.

While the context created by this function is the current context, you can call the UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext function to retrieve an image object based on the current contents of the context. When you are done modifying the context, you must call the UIGraphicsEndImageContextfunction to clean up the bitmap drawing environment and remove the graphics context from the top of the context stack. You should not use theUIGraphicsPopContext function to remove this type of context from the stack.

In most other respects, the graphics context created by this function behaves like any other graphics context. You can change the context by pushing and popping other graphics contexts. You can also get the bitmap context using the UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext function.

In iOS 4 and later, you may call this function from any thread of your app.

UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData

Creates a PDF-based graphics context that targets the specified mutable data object.

void UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData (

   NSMutableData *data,

   CGRect bounds,

   NSDictionary *documentInfo

);
Parameters
data

The data object to receive the PDF output data.

bounds

A rectangle that specifies the default size and location of PDF pages. (This value is used as the default media box for each new page.) The origin of the rectangle should typically be (0, 0). Specifying an empty rectangle (CGRectZero) sets the default page size to 8.5 by 11 inches (612 by 792 points).

documentInfo

A dictionary that specifies additional information to be associated with the PDF file. You can use these keys to specify additional metadata and security information for the PDF, such as the author of the PDF or the password for accessing it. The keys in this dictionary are the same keys you pass to theCGPDFContextCreate function and are described in the Auxiliary Dictionary Keys section of CGPDFContext Reference. The dictionary is retained by the new context, so on return you may safely release it.

Specify nil if you do not want to associate any additional information with the PDF document.

Discussion

After creating the graphics context, this function makes it the current drawing context. Any subsequent drawing commands are therefore captured and turned into PDF data. When you are done drawing, you must call the UIGraphicsEndPDFContext function to close the PDF graphics context.

You can use all of the same drawing routines that you would normally use to draw the contents of your application. The graphics context converts all drawing commands into PDF drawing commands automatically. However, before you issue any drawing commands to a PDF context, you must start a new page by calling the UIGraphicsBeginPDFPage or UIGraphicsBeginPDFPageWithInfo function. You can also use these functions to define additional pages later.

After creating it, you can get the PDF context using the UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext function.

Parameters
path

A POSIX-style path string identifying the location of the resulting PDF file. The specified path may be relative or a full path name. If a file does not exist at the specified path, one is created; otherwise, the contents of any existing file are deleted. The directories in the path must exist.

bounds

A rectangle that specifies the default size and location of PDF pages. (This value is used as the default media box for each new page.) The origin of the rectangle should typically be (0, 0). Specifying an empty rectangle (CGRectZero) sets the default page size to 8.5 by 11 inches (612 by 792 points).

documentInfo

A dictionary that specifies additional information to be associated with the PDF file. You can use these keys to specify additional metadata and security information for the PDF, such as the author of the PDF or the password for accessing it.

If the current context was not created using the UIGraphicsBeginImageContext function, this function does nothing.

In iOS 4 and later, you may call this function from any thread of your app.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsEndPDFContext

Closes a PDF graphics context and pops it from the current context stack.

void UIGraphicsEndPDFContext (

   void

);
Discussion

You must call this function after you finish drawing to a PDF graphics context. This function closes the current open page and removes the PDF context from the graphics context stack. It also releases the CGContextRef associated with the PDF context. If the current graphics context is not a PDF context, this function does nothing.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext

Returns the current graphics context.

CGContextRef UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext (

   void

);
Return Value

The current graphics context.

Discussion

The current graphics context is nil by default. Prior to calling its drawRect: method, view objects push a valid context onto the stack, making it current. If you are not using a UIView object to do your drawing, however, you must push a valid context onto the stack manually using the UIGraphicsPushContextfunction.

In iOS 4 and later, you may call this function from any thread of your app.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext

Returns an image based on the contents of the current bitmap-based graphics context.

UIImage * UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext (

   void

);
Return Value

A image object containing the contents of the current bitmap graphics context.

Discussion

You should call this function only when a bitmap-based graphics context is the current graphics context. If the current context is nil or was not created by a call to UIGraphicsBeginImageContext, this function returns nil.

In iOS 4 and later, you may call this function from any thread of your app.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsGetPDFContextBounds

Returns the current page bounds.

CGRect UIGraphicsGetPDFContextBounds (

   void

);
Return Value

The current page bounds associated with the PDF context or CGRectZero if the current context is not a PDF context.

Discussion

If a page has not yet been started, this function returns the default media box you specified when you created the PDF context; otherwise, it returns the page bounds for the current page.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsPopContext

Removes the current graphics context from the top of the stack, restoring the previous context.

void UIGraphicsPopContext (

   void

);
Discussion

Use this function to balance calls to the UIGraphicsPushContext function.

In iOS 4 and later, you may call this function from any thread of your app.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsPushContext

Makes the specified graphics context the current context.

void UIGraphicsPushContext (

   CGContextRef context

);
Parameters
context

The graphics context to make the current context.

Discussion

You can use this function to save the previous graphics state and make the specified context the current context. You must balance calls to this function with matching calls to the UIGraphicsPopContext function.

In iOS 4 and later, you may call this function from any thread of your app.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsSetPDFContextDestinationForRect

Links a rectangle on the current page to the specified jump destination.

void UIGraphicsSetPDFContextDestinationForRect (

   NSString *name,

   CGRect rect

);
Parameters
name

A named destination in the PDF document. This is the same name you used when creating the jump destination using theUIGraphicsAddPDFContextDestinationAtPoint function.

rect

A rectangle on the current page of the PDF context.

Discussion

You use this function to create live links within a PDF document. Tapping the specified rectangle in the PDF document causes the document to display the contents at the associated jump destination.

If the current graphics context is not a PDF context, this function does nothing.

UIGraphics.h

UIGraphicsSetPDFContextURLForRect

Links a rectangle on the current page to the specified URL.

void UIGraphicsSetPDFContextURLForRect (

   NSURL *url,

   CGRect rect

);
Parameters
url

The URL to open.

rect

A rectangle on the current page of the PDF context.

Discussion

You use this function to create external links within a PDF document. If the URL you specify is a type handled by a different application, tapping the rectangle opens that application.

If the current graphics context is not a PDF context, this function does nothing.

UIGraphics.h

UIGuidedAccessRestrictionStateForIdentifier

Returns the restriction state for the specified guided access restriction.

UIGuidedAccessRestrictionState UIGuidedAccessRestrictionStateForIdentifier(NSString *restrictionIdentifier);
Parameters
restrictionIdentifier

The string that uniquely identifies the guided access restriction.

Return Value

The current state of the guided access restriction. The initial state of all restrictions is UIGuidedAccessRestrictionStateAllow.

UIGuidedAccessRestrictions.h

UIImageJPEGRepresentation

Returns the data for the specified image in JPEG format.

NSData * UIImageJPEGRepresentation (

   UIImage *image,

   CGFloat compressionQuality

);
Parameters
image

The original image data.

compressionQuality

The quality of the resulting JPEG image, expressed as a value from 0.0 to 1.0. The value 0.0 represents the maximum compression (or lowest quality) while the value 1.0 represents the least compression (or best quality).

Return Value

A data object containing the JPEG data, or nil if there was a problem generating the data. This function may return nil if the image has no data or if the underlying CGImageRef contains data in an unsupported bitmap format.

Discussion

If the image object’s underlying image data has been purged, calling this function forces that data to be reloaded into memory.

Availability
  • Available in iOS 2.0 and later.
