I want to set border color with the gradient left to right [Red, Green] at UIView. Like example:
I tried below code: -
class View: UIView {
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds, byRoundingCorners: [.topLeft, .bottomLeft, .topRight, .bottomRight], cornerRadii: CGSize(width: frame.size.height / 2, height: frame.size.height / 2))
let gradient = CAGradientLayer()
gradient.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: frame.size)
gradient.colors = [UIColor.green.cgColor, UIColor.red.cgColor]
let shape = CAShapeLayer()
shape.lineWidth = 10
shape.path = path.cgPath
shape.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
shape.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
gradient.mask = shape
layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
}
}
There is three problem which I am not able to resolve: -
1- I have set lineWidth 10 but its showing width 10 at corners and at horizontal/vertical only 5.
2- I want to show the gradient from left to right not top to bottom.
I tried below code to set gradient from left to right but not working: -
// gradient.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: frame.size)
gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.5)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.5)
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Edit
I want to set border from left to right
You need to change gradient.startPoint and gradient.endPoint
enum Direction {
case horizontal
case vertical
}
class View: UIView {
init(frame: CGRect, cornerRadius: CGFloat, colors: [UIColor], lineWidth: CGFloat = 5, direction: Direction = .horizontal) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
self.layer.masksToBounds = true
let gradient = CAGradientLayer()
gradient.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: self.frame.size)
gradient.colors = colors.map({ (color) -> CGColor in
color.cgColor
})
switch direction {
case .horizontal:
gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 1)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1, y: 1)
case .vertical:
gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 1)
}
let shape = CAShapeLayer()
shape.lineWidth = lineWidth
shape.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds.insetBy(dx: lineWidth,
dy: lineWidth), cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath
shape.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
shape.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
gradient.mask = shape
self.layer.addSublayer(gradient)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
As you can see, I added some extra parameters. I solved this issue by adding inset to the roundedRect:
shape.path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds.insetBy(dx: lineWidth,
dy: lineWidth), cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath
How to use it:
let myView = View(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 200, height: 50), cornerRadius: 25, colors: [UIColor.red, .orange, .yellow], lineWidth: 2, direction: .horizontal)
myView.center = view.center
view.addSubview(myView)
Screenshot:
The problem is that the the bezier path is not drawn inside its bounds. It's drawn around its bounds. So half the stroke width is inside and half is outside. You need to adjust the bounds to deal with this.
Change the frame you pass into the bezier path from self.bounds
to self.bounds.insetBy(dx: 5, dy: 5)
where 5
is half your line width.
And the lines:
gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.5)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.5)
do result in the gradient going from left to right.
Here is fully working code from yours:
class View: UIView {
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds.insetBy(dx: 5, dy: 5), byRoundingCorners: [.topLeft, .bottomLeft, .topRight, .bottomRight], cornerRadii: CGSize(width: frame.size.height / 2, height: frame.size.height / 2))
let gradient = CAGradientLayer()
gradient.frame = CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: frame.size)
gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 0.5)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 0.5)
gradient.colors = [UIColor.green.cgColor, UIColor.red.cgColor]
let shape = CAShapeLayer()
shape.lineWidth = 10
shape.path = path.cgPath
shape.strokeColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
shape.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
gradient.mask = shape
layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
}
}
