How to draw custom line on MKMapview?

Question

I've been searching for a way to draw a custom line, but the only help I can find is how to draw lines with an UIColor.

I want to draw a straight line but not just with a color. I want the appearance of the line to be customizable.

(So right now I can draw lines between 2 points, but not the line I want)

The line I want got straight 45 degree lines on it, and it's grey and black.

Anybody can help?

The line looks like this, I'm also thinking that I could stretch this image, but if I stretch it, it will look kinda weird.

Answer 1

Why don't you add image then? I'm new developer so I don't know other way to do it. Only OpenGL with texturing, but there is no need to use openGL. So my suggestion is to add image.

Answer 2

Sound like what your looking for is the MKPolylineView Class . You assign it a polyline which contains the points in your line. Since the polyline view is an MKOverlayPathView you can set the stroke and fill colors.

Since it's also a UIView subclass you can manipulate the appearance even further by grabing the views layer property and adding gradients, shadows, masks, etc.

Is there a specific effect that you're trying to achieve?
