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 have to set the CGImage for the layer

leftDot.fillColor=[UIColor clearColor].CGColor ;
[leftDot setContents:(__bridge id)[UIImage imageNamed: @"glow.png"].CGImage];
