Mac OS Cocoa: Draw a simple pixel on a canvas

Question

I wish I would find an answer for this. I have searched and searched and couldn\'t the right answer. Here is my situation:

In a Mac OS Cocoa Application, I want to draw

Answer 1

Maybe I am misunderstanding the question, but Quartz has the ability to fill rectangles:

void CGContextFillRect (CGContextRef c, CGRect rect);

Answer 2

class CMKViewController: NSViewController {


  override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

         let testIV = TestImageView(image: NSImage(named: "test.png")!)
         // testIV.frame = CGRect(x:0,y:0,width:100,height:100)
          self.view.addSubview(testIV)
          testIV.myPixels = [CGPoint(x:10,y:10)]

    }


}

class TestImageView:NSImageView{

    var myPixels:[CGPoint] = []

    override func draw(_ dirtyRect: NSRect) {
        super.draw(dirtyRect)

        guard let context: CGContext = NSGraphicsContext.current()?.cgContext else {
            consolePrint("Cannot get graphics context")
            return
        }

        // Fill background to white
        context.setFillColor(.white)
        context.fill(bounds)
        context.setFillColor(NSColor.red.cgColor)


        // Draw pixels
        context.fillPixels(myPixels)


    }
}



extension CGContext {

    func fillPixels(_ pixels: [CGPoint]) {
        var size:CGSize?
        if Screen.retinaScale > 1{
            size = CGSize(width: 1.5, height: 1.5)
        }else{
            size = CGSize(width: 1.0, height: 1.0)
        }

        for pixel in pixels{
          fill(CGRect(origin: pixel, size: size!))
        }
    }

    func fill(_ pixel: CGPoint) {
        fill(CGRect(origin: pixel, size: CGSize(width: 1.0, height: 1.0)))
    }
}
