How can i convert NSBezierPath to CGPath
Right from Apple documentation: Creating a CGPathRef From an NSBezierPath Object
Here is the relevant code.
@implementation NSBezierPath (BezierPathQuartzUtilities)
// This method works only in OS X v10.2 and later.
- (CGPathRef)quartzPath
{
int i, numElements;
// Need to begin a path here.
CGPathRef immutablePath = NULL;
// Then draw the path elements.
numElements = [self elementCount];
if (numElements > 0)
{
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
NSPoint points[3];
BOOL didClosePath = YES;
for (i = 0; i < numElements; i++)
{
switch ([self elementAtIndex:i associatedPoints:points])
{
case NSMoveToBezierPathElement:
CGPathMoveToPoint(path, NULL, points[0].x, points[0].y);
break;
case NSLineToBezierPathElement:
CGPathAddLineToPoint(path, NULL, points[0].x, points[0].y);
didClosePath = NO;
break;
case NSCurveToBezierPathElement:
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path, NULL, points[0].x, points[0].y,
points[1].x, points[1].y,
points[2].x, points[2].y);
didClosePath = NO;
break;
case NSClosePathBezierPathElement:
CGPathCloseSubpath(path);
didClosePath = YES;
break;
}
}
// Be sure the path is closed or Quartz may not do valid hit detection.
if (!didClosePath)
CGPathCloseSubpath(path);
immutablePath = CGPathCreateCopy(path);
CGPathRelease(path);
}
return immutablePath;
}
@end

rdar://15758302: NSBezierPath to CGPath.
The syntax in Xcode 8 GM has been further simplified, code modified from rob-mayoff's answer above. Using this and a helper for addLine(to point: CGPoint)
I am sharing drawing code cross platform.
extension NSBezierPath {
public var cgPath: CGPath {
let path = CGMutablePath()
var points = [CGPoint](repeating: .zero, count: 3)
for i in 0 ..< elementCount {
let type = element(at: i, associatedPoints: &points)
switch type {
case .moveTo:
path.move(to: points[0])
case .lineTo:
path.addLine(to: points[0])
case .curveTo:
path.addCurve(to: points[2], control1: points[0], control2: points[1])
case .closePath:
path.closeSubpath()
@unknown default:
continue
}
}
return path
}
}
This works in Swift 3.1 and later:
import AppKit
public extension NSBezierPath {
public var cgPath: CGPath {
let path = CGMutablePath()
var points = [CGPoint](repeating: .zero, count: 3)
for i in 0 ..< self.elementCount {
let type = self.element(at: i, associatedPoints: &points)
switch type {
case .moveToBezierPathElement: path.move(to: points[0])
case .lineToBezierPathElement: path.addLine(to: points[0])
case .curveToBezierPathElement: path.addCurve(to: points[2], control1: points[0], control2: points[1])
case .closePathBezierPathElement: path.closeSubpath()
}
}
return path
}
}
For macOS better use - CGMutablePath
But, if you want cgPath
for NSBezierPath
:
Swift 5.0
extension NSBezierPath {
var cgPath: CGPath {
let path = CGMutablePath()
var points = [CGPoint](repeating: .zero, count: 3)
for i in 0 ..< self.elementCount {
let type = self.element(at: i, associatedPoints: &points)
switch type {
case .moveTo:
path.move(to: points[0])
case .lineTo:
path.addLine(to: points[0])
case .curveTo:
path.addCurve(to: points[2], control1: points[0], control2: points[1])
case .closePath:
path.closeSubpath()
@unknown default:
break
}
}
return path
}
}
