Use PaintCode to turn your drawings into easy-to-use Android Java code. Perfect for drawing icons and custom UI elements.
You can even make your drawings animated or parametric.
PaintCode 3 added support for Swift 3, 4, and 5, fully compatible with Xcode 10, iOS 12, and macOS Mojave.
By carefully analyzing the Swift compiler and tailoring the generated code to it, we were able to improve the compilation speed by more than 150x in many common cases.
With PaintCode 3, you can now export JavaScript code that can be used to draw into <canvas> elements. Perfect for creating dynamic, interactive drawings such as the one on the left.
See the tutorial video to learn more.
All generated drawing methods now take 2 parameters - the target rectangle into which you wish to draw and the resizing behavior.
You can choose between ‘aspect fit’, ‘center’, ‘aspect fill’ and ‘stretch’ resizing behaviors.
class HouseView: UIView {
override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
StyleKit.drawHouse(frame: self.bounds, resizing: .aspectFit)
}
}
To turn this feature on for your existing canvases, choose the
"Resizing: Using Method Parameters"
option from canvas attributes in the inspector. Learn More ▸
