How can I add CGPoint objects to an NSArray the easy way?
With UIKit
Apple added support for CGPoint to NSValue
, so you can do:
NSArray *points = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(5.5, 6.6)],
[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(7.7, 8.8)],
nil];
List as many [NSValue] instances as you have CGPoint, and end the list in nil. All objects in this structure are auto-released.
On the flip side, when you're pulling the values out of the array:
NSValue *val = [points objectAtIndex:0];
CGPoint p = [val CGPointValue];
Have you taken a look at CFMutableArray
? That might work better for you.
I use this:
Create array:
NSArray *myArray = @[[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(30.0, 150.0)],[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(41.67, 145.19)]];
Get 1st CGPoint object:
CGPoint myPoint = [myArray[0] CGPointValue];
You can also write this in a minimal form of:
CGPoint myArray[] = { CGPointMake(5.5, 6.6), CGPointMake(7.7, 8.8) };
CGPoint p2 = myArray[1];
