使用点数与像素为iOS应用程序创建图标和图像

Question

I have an icon area that I used an UIImageView to display it. If the imageview has the following frame:

CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20)

How big (in pixels) do I make my icon for all the different iPhone display types? I know I need x.png, 2x.png and 3x.png and want them to look good in iPhone 5, 6 and 6 plus.

Answer 1

iOS uses points instead of pixels. So, when you create a 20x20(points) image, it is actually 20x20 pixels for regular iPhone screens where 1px = 1point. For @2x, it is like 40x40 pixels and for @3x it is like 60x60 pixels. This sizes should be sufficient to make them look good basically, as far as I know.
