graphicsPort doesn’t return an Optional however currentContext does, so cocoaCTX is an NSGraphicsContext? which is what the error message was trying to tell you.
let cocoaCTX = NSGraphicsContext.currentContext()
let sysCTX = cocoaCTX?.graphicsPort as! CGContextRef?
is what you need to get an optional CGContextRef out of it (and it took me 3 shots to get that one right). ‘?’ after the cocoaCTX (which autocomplete adds for you), a force downcast but to a CGContextRef? else you’ll go bang if the NSGraphicsContext is nil
As Marco points out, that won’t work in your initializer, quite.
