iOS - MKOverlayView custom view rect fills works,

New to Map Overlays, but this is a really weird problem.

I pass in the mapView.visibleMapRect to my overlay implementation and return that as the boundingMapRect, which is fine for now - just trying to draw a line on the whole map rect.

My drawMapRect is getting called, and in the following code - the partially transparent green rectangle is drawn, but the lines are not. I've verified the line drawing code in drawRect of a uiview subclass, so I know it draws something :-)

I'm sure I must be missing something easy, but I can't see it :-)

The thing that throws me off is that the visibleMapRect, when converted to a CGRect has very strange coordinates - they don't look like screen coordinates to me at all - which seems like the source of the problem to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated:

The drawMapRect is called multiple times, i'm attaching the output below.

Thanks, Bob

ViewController setup code:

CLLocationCoordinate2D center;
center.latitude = 29.46;
center.longitude = -98.30;

MKCoordinateRegion region;

MKCoordinateSpan span;
span.latitudeDelta = 0.2;
span.longitudeDelta = 0.2;

region.center = center;
region.span = span;

self.mapView.region = region;

MyOverlay *myoverlay = [[MyOverlay alloc] initWithCoordinate: center andBoundingRect: self.mapView.visibleMapRect];
[self.mapView addOverlay:myoverlay];

MyOverlay code:

@implementation MyOverlay

@synthesize coordinate;
@synthesize boundingMapRect;


- (id) initWithCoordinate: (CLLocationCoordinate2D) coord andBoundingRect: (MKMapRect) bRect {

    if ((self = [super init])) {
        //customize here

        coordinate = coord;
        boundingMapRect = bRect;
    }

    return self;

}

MyOverlayView drawing code

- (void)drawMapRect:(MKMapRect)mapRect zoomScale:(MKZoomScale)zoomScale inContext:(CGContextRef)context {

    CGRect theRect = [self rectForMapRect:mapRect];

    NSLog(@"in drawMapRect ...theRect is %f, %f, size of %f x %f", theRect.origin.x, theRect.origin.y, theRect.size.width, theRect.size.height); 
    CGContextSetAlpha(context, 1.0);
    CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, [UIColor blueColor].CGColor);
    CGContextMoveToPoint(context, theRect.origin.x, theRect.origin.y);
    CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, theRect.size.width, theRect.size.width);

    CGContextSetAlpha(context, .25);
    CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, [UIColor greenColor].CGColor);
    CGContextFillRect(context, theRect);

}

回答1:

One thing to consider is that for performance reasons, drawMapRect: is called on multiple threads. This explains why you see drawMapRect: getting called multiple times. Additionally the mapRect input to this method is NOT necessarily equal to the visible mapView.visibleMapRect. In fact mapRect is usually a small section of mapView.visibleMapRect and different threads render different regions of mapView.visibleMapRect. Thus just because a point is contained inside mapView.visibleMapRect it does not mean that it is contained within the mapRect passed to all of the resulting calls to drawMapRect.

回答2:

Problem is with setting of the line width. In your example the width is not set. If you still want to solve this problem, look here Custom MKOverlayView line width.

回答3:

You have the wrong coordinates in your call to CGContextAddLineToPoint. You have:

CGContextMoveToPoint(context, theRect.origin.x, theRect.origin.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, theRect.size.width, theRect.size.width);

but it should be:

CGContextMoveToPoint(context, theRect.origin.x, theRect.origin.y);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, theRect.origin.x + theRect.size.width, theRect.origin.y + theRect.size.height);

At least if you are hoping to draw a line diagonally across your rectangle.

Also as Ludvik Polak mentioned above, you probably also need to set the line width using something like:

CGContextSetLineWidth(context, MKRoadWidthAtZoomScale(zoomScale));
