What is Quartz2D
UIView及其子类的应用目前比较熟悉了，下面开始学习一下Quartz2D。我们从名字上来大致猜测一下这个东西是干吗的，2D好说应该是说的2维和3D不同。那么Quartz又是个啥呢？Quartz的本意是石英石，也有石英表的意思。在Java中有个叫Quartz的开源的作业调度框架，估计是取其石英表的含义。但是在苹果开发中，这个名字到底怎么解释，还真猜不到。本来想望文知意的，结果不太靠谱，那我们直接先看一看苹果对Quartz 2D的描述
Quartz 2D is an advanced, two-dimensional drawing engine available for iOS application development and to all Mac OS X application environments outside of the kernel. Quartz 2D provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity regardless of display or printing device. Quartz 2D is resolution- and device-independent; you don’t need to think about the final destination when you use the Quartz 2D application programming interface (API) for drawing.
The Quartz 2D API is easy to use and provides access to powerful features such as transparency layers, path-based drawing, offscreen rendering, advanced color management, anti-aliased rendering, and PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
The Quartz 2D API is part of the Core Graphics framework, so you may see Quartz referred to as Core Graphics or, simply, CG
这么一大段话，我们找几个关键字：drawing engine, resolution, device-independent, API。
这几个关键词加起来就是说，我们可以调用Quartz 2D的接口来绘图。至于后面的简单易用，功能强大这一类的描述，看看就好，不必较真。
我们已经知道了Quartz2D是什么，也知道它能干什么，接下来就是学习它是怎么做的。
When to use Quartz2D
讨论怎么用之前，我们先了解一下什么时候用，即应用场景。还是看苹果给的东西吧，毕竟这玩意都是他们搞出来的。
Draw graphics
Provide graphics editing capabilities in an application
Create or display bitmap images
Work with PDF documents
对这上面这几种翻译一下：
1 )画图
这里说的画图，应该是指在界面上画线条，多边形，弧形等。如股票软件中的各种线条。
2）提供图形编辑功能
图片编辑功能复杂一点，如照片处理一类的。
3）创建或者显示位图
4）处理PDF文档
How to use Quartz2D
concept
我们先理解一些概念，不然理解后面说的东西比较费劲。
1）Painter's model
看图1来理解这个所谓的粉刷模型，就是一个粉刷效果，后面的掩盖前面的。
2）The Graphics Context
这个可以理解为绘画环境，比如涂鸦绘画环境就是墙壁，油画的绘画环境就是画布。开发中的绘画环境有：位图，PDF，窗口，图层。
Creating a Window Graphics Context，API本身不能获取window的Context，需要在Cocoa framework中获取一个。
CGContextRef myContext = [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] graphicsPort];//
Creating a PDF Graphics Context
CGPDFContextCreateWithURL
CGPDFContextCreate
Creating a Bitmap Graphics Context
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions//iOS环境中用这个，避免坐标系统的不同
3）Opaque Data Types
数据类型很多，我们用到的时候在详细了解。下面列一下这些数据类型和用处：
CGPathRef, used for vector graphics to create paths that you fill or stroke. SeePaths.
CGImageRef, used to represent bitmap images and bitmap image masks based on sample data that you supply. SeeBitmap Images and Image Masks.
CGLayerRef, used to represent a drawing layer that can be used for repeated drawing (such as for backgrounds or patterns) and for offscreen drawing. SeeCore Graphics Layer Drawing
CGPatternRef, used for repeated drawing. SeePatterns.
CGShadingRefandCGGradientRef, used to paint gradients. SeeGradients.
CGFunctionRef, used to define callback functions that take an arbitrary number of floating-point arguments. You use this data type when you create gradients for a shading. SeeGradients.
CGColorRefandCGColorSpaceRef, used to inform Quartz how to interpret color. SeeColor and Color Spaces.
CGImageSourceRefandCGImageDestinationRef, which you use to move data into and out of Quartz. SeeData Management in Quartz 2DandImage I/O Programming Guide.
CGFontRef, used to draw text. SeeText.
CGPDFDictionaryRef,CGPDFObjectRef,CGPDFPageRef,CGPDFStream,CGPDFStringRef,andCGPDFArrayRef, which provide access to PDF metadata. SeePDF Document Creation, Viewing, and Transforming.
CGPDFScannerRefandCGPDFContentStreamRef, which parse PDF metadata. SeePDF Document Parsing.
CGPSConverterRef, used to convert PostScript to PDF. It is not available in iOS. SeePostScript Conversion.
4）Coordinate Systems
在二维中绘图，坐标系的概念必不可少。指标系统大家还是比较熟悉的，过多的解释没有必要，值得注意的是在iOS的显示中坐标原点的位置不在左下角而在左上角。
5）Path
我们想要画一个三角形或一个圆，在现实中我们可以根据抽象的思维，随意画出三角形和圆，但是计算机怎样能够准确的画出我们想要的图案呢。Path就是用来定义图形的。可以理解为Path表示了图形的轮廓，按照这个轮廓，通过填充，描绘就可以准确的得到我们想要的图案。
直接在Context上画
创建可复用的Path
CGPathCreateMutable, which replacesCGContextBeginPath
CGPathMoveToPoint, which replacesCGContextMoveToPoint
CGPathAddLineToPoint, which replacesCGContextAddLineToPoint
CGPathAddCurveToPoint, which replacesCGContextAddCurveToPoint
CGPathAddEllipseInRect, which replacesCGContextAddEllipseInRect
CGPathAddArc, which replacesCGContextAddArc
CGPathAddRect, which replacesCGContextAddRect
CGPathCloseSubpath, which replacesCGContextClosePath
将Path加到Context上CGContextAddPath.
有了Path了我们就可以涂鸦啦，哦不对，是Paint.有两种方式，填充（filling）和笔画（stroking）。
Parameters That Affect Stroking
Parameter:Function to set parameter value
Line width:CGContextSetLineWidth//线宽度
Line join:CGContextSetLineJoin//连接处的风格设置
Line cap:CGContextSetLineCap//两端的风格
Miter limit:CGContextSetMiterLimit //
Line dash pattern:CGContextSetLineDash
Stroke color space:CGContextSetStrokeColorSpace
Stroke color:CGContextSetStrokeColorCGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor
Stroke pattern:CGContextSetStrokePattern
Functions that fill paths
CGContextEOFillPath
Fills the current path using the even-odd rule.
CGContextFillPath
Fills the current path using the nonzero winding number rule.
CGContextFillRect
Fills the area that fits inside the specified rectangle.
CGContextFillRects
Fills the areas that fits inside the specified rectangles.
CGContextFillEllipseInRect
Fills an ellipse that fits inside the specified rectangle.
CGContextDrawPath
Fills the current path if you pass kCGPathFill(nonzero winding number rule) or kCGPathEOFill(even-odd rule). Fills and strokes the current path if you pass kCGPathFillStroke or kCGPathEOFillStroke.
6）Color and Color Space
颜色的相关内容。
7) Transform
如图，Transform说的就是这样的一些变换。缩放、移动，旋转等。有坐标系作为基础，这些变化对应相应的数学知识就很好理解了。简单的直接调用API即可，复杂的变换可能要涉及到数学内容，比如矩阵变换等，这些东西不在讨论范围。明白可能用到这些就好了
8）Partterns
9）Shadows
阴影可以让2D的图形有3D的视觉效果。
10）Gradient
有时候一种颜色，或者简单叠加的颜色看起来很枯燥乏味，我们用渐变让图形更丰富。
理解了这些东西了，也很无聊的了，来个例子吧，看看这些东西到底是怎么玩的。
@implementation MyQuartzView
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)frameRect
{
self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect];
return self;
}
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
CGContextRef myContext = [[NSGraphicsContext
currentContext] graphicsPort]; // 1
// ********** Your drawing code here **********// 2
CGContextSetRGBFillColor (myContext, 1, 0, 0, 1);// 3
CGContextFillRect (myContext, CGRectMake (0, 0, 200, 100 ));// 4
CGContextSetRGBFillColor (myContext, 0, 0, 1, .5);// 5
CGContextFillRect (myContext, CGRectMake (0, 0, 100, 200));// 6
}
@end
得到的效果如图2
1.获取Context
2.准备绘图
3.设置填充颜色（涉及到Color相关内容）
4.填充矩形区域（涉及到path相关内容）
5.再次设置颜色（透明相关）
6.填充矩形区域（根据Painter's Model 覆盖，重叠区域的覆盖）

};
// Bulk call to add lines to the current path.
// Equivalent to MoveToPoint(points[0]); for(i=1; i < count,++i) AddLineToPoint(points[i]);
CGContextAddLines(context, addLines, sizeof(addLines)/sizeof(addLines[0]));
CGContextStrokePath(context);

// Restore the previous drawing state.
CGContextRestoreGState(context);
// If the stroke width is large enough, display the path that generated these lines
if (self.width >= 4.0) // arbitrarily only show when the line is at least twice as wide as our target stroke
{
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
