In a possibly vain attempt to return to my original
question, if anyone could help, I would be very
grateful. :)
To recap, I am trying to achieve something similar to
this:
http://www.rumramruf.com/bezierPic.tiff
but am getting certain drawing glitches. If anybody
actually knows how to generate a bezier path that
draws around a rectArray returned from
NSLayoutManager's rectArrayForCharacterRange:... so as
to round the corners, similar to the above picture, I
would be very grateful.
Many thanks again,
Keith
PS. Here is a re-post of the code I am currently using
to generate the above bezier paths, called in my text
view's drawViewBackgroundInRect: method. The top
corners are more rounded than the bottom, and I'm not
sure why, and there are other minor glitches too:
NSLayoutManager *layoutManager = [self layoutManager];
NSTextContainer *textContainer = [self
textContainer];
unsigned rectCount;
NSRectArray rectArray = [layoutManager
rectArrayForCharacterRange:charRange
withinSelectedCharacterRange:NSMakeRange(NSNotFound,0)
inTextContainer:textContainer
rectCount:&rectCount];
int i;
NSBezierPath *path = [NSBezierPath bezierPath];
float radius = 6;
NSMutableArray *corners = [NSMutableArray array];
NSPoint textContainerOrigin = [self
textContainerOrigin];
// Get right sides
for (i=0; i<rectCount; i++)
{
// Get current rect and account for text
container
NSRect currRect =
NSOffsetRect(rectArray[i],textContainerOrigin.x,textContainerOrigin.y);
NSPoint topPoint =
NSMakePoint(NSMaxX(currRect),currRect.origin.y);
NSPoint bottomPoint =
NSMakePoint(NSMaxX(currRect),NSMaxY(currRect));
// Make sure all points lie on the centre of a
pixel
topPoint.x = (int)topPoint.x;
topPoint.x += 0.5;
topPoint.y = (int)topPoint.y;
topPoint.y += 0.5;
bottomPoint.x = (int)bottomPoint.x;
bottomPoint.x += 0.5;
bottomPoint.y = (int)bottomPoint.y;
bottomPoint.y += 0.5;
[corners addObject:[NSValue
valueWithPoint:topPoint]];
[corners addObject:[NSValue
valueWithPoint:bottomPoint]];
}
// Get left sides
for (i=rectCount-1; i>=0; i--)
{
NSRect currRect =
NSOffsetRect(rectArray[i],textContainerOrigin.x,textContainerOrigin.y);
NSPoint topPoint = currRect.origin;
NSPoint bottomPoint =
NSMakePoint(currRect.origin.x,NSMaxY(currRect));
topPoint.x = (int)topPoint.x;
topPoint.x += 0.5;
topPoint.y = (int)topPoint.y;
topPoint.y += 0.5;
bottomPoint.x = (int)bottomPoint.x;
bottomPoint.x += 0.5;
bottomPoint.y = (int)bottomPoint.y;
bottomPoint.y += 0.5;
[corners addObject:[NSValue
valueWithPoint:bottomPoint]];
[corners addObject:[NSValue
valueWithPoint:topPoint]];
}
// Now try to draw the curve...
NSPoint firstPoint = [[corners objectAtIndex:0]
pointValue];
NSPoint lastPoint = [[corners
objectAtIndex:[corners
count]-1] pointValue];
NSPoint startPoint =
NSMakePoint((firstPoint.x+lastPoint.x)/2.0,(firstPoint.y+lastPoint.y)/2.0);
[path moveToPoint:startPoint];
for (i = 0; i < [corners count]; i++)
{
NSPoint currPoint = [[corners objectAtIndex:i]
pointValue];
if (i < [corners count]-1)
{
NSPoint nextPoint = [[corners
objectAtIndex:i+1]
pointValue];
radius = MIN(6, 0.5 * (MIN(
KBDistanceBetweenPoints([path
currentPoint],currPoint),
KBDistanceBetweenPoints(currPoint,nextPoint))));
[path
appendBezierPathWithArcFromPoint:currPoint
toPoint:nextPoint radius:radius];
}
else
{
radius = MIN(6, 0.5 * (MIN(
KBDistanceBetweenPoints([path
currentPoint],currPoint),
KBDistanceBetweenPoints(currPoint,startPoint))));
[path
appendBezierPathWithArcFromPoint:currPoint
toPoint:startPoint radius:radius];
}
}
[path closePath];
And this is the function used in radius calculation
above:
float KBDistanceBetweenPoints (NSPoint a, NSPoint b)
{
float
dX = a.x - b.x,
dY = a.y - b.y;
return (sqrt(dX*dX + dY*dY));
}
