UIImage as CAShapeLayer contents

Question

If I create a CAShapeLayer with just a background color it shows up, but if i set the content to an image, nothing shows.

CAShapeLayer* leftDot = [CAShapeLa         


        

Answer 1

You can get the image to appear by setting the fillColor rather than the contents:

layer.fillColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image"]].CGColor;
