How to save and retrive previous context from iphone ?
I am using the following code
int lineX=0;lineY=0;Xpos = 0;Ypos = 20;
CGContextRef context1;
context1 = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
for(int i=0;i<[DataTable count];i++)
{
NSString *strVal = [DataTable objectAtIndex:i];
[strVal retain];
NSLog(@"strval = %@",strVal);
Ypos+=30;
for(int draw=1;draw<5;draw++)
{
switch (draw) {
case 1:
string=strVal;
Xpos=20;
break;
case 2:
string=strVal;
Xpos=120;
break;
case 3:
string=strVal;
Xpos=220;
break;
case 4:
string=strVal;
Xpos=320;
break;
default:
break;
}
[self DrawTextView:context1 :0 :0 :0 :1 :Xpos :Ypos :string];
}
[self DrawLine:context1];
}
-(void)DrawLine:(CGContextRef)context
{
UIColor* color = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1];
lineY+=30;
CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [color CGColor]);
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [color CGColor]);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, lineX, lineY);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context,MaxLinex,lineY);
CGContextStrokePath(context);
}
-(void)DrawTextView:(CGContextRef)context :(float)R :(float)G :(float)B :(float)Al :(int)Xpos1 :(int)Ypos1 :(NSString *)s
{
NSLog(@"xpos = %d,ypos=%d",Xpos1,Ypos1);
strcpy(charProcedureName,[s cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
CGContextSelectFont(context, "Helvetica", 14, kCGEncodingMacRoman);
CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFill);
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, R, G, B, Al);
CGAffineTransform xform = CGAffineTransformMake(
1.0, 0.0,
0.0, -1.0,
0.0, 0.0);
CGContextSetTextMatrix(context, xform);
CGContextShowTextAtPoint(context, Xpos1, Ypos1, charProcedureName, strlen(charProcedureName));
}
This code works fine.When ever i draw with new data , the old data's are not displayed only the new data is displayed.How can i hold the old data in UIView.or tell me how to use the previous context as current context to draw data or how can i store and retrive the CGContextRef . Please i am really struggle with this .......... Plz help me..
Thanks in advance.......
