PSD classrooms will receive resources annually to provide learning environments that more closely resemble 21st century workplaces.
Funds allow schools to update computers and other technology for student use in classrooms. In 2011, the district refreshed nearly 6,000 computers; SmartBoards were installed in all 5th-grade classrooms; students in 5th- and 6th- grades, along with 7th-grade language arts, received classroom sets of Netbooks; and the "Techcellence" one-to-one laptop initiative for 9th-graders was implemented. For more information, read the Technology Integration Program Overview.
Teachers receive training and professional development annually on technology applications and new teaching tools provided in classrooms. In 2011, teachers were trained on SmartBoards, Netbooks and laptops as applicable by grade level.
$1 million is used to improve the district technology infrastructure to support the network and software, which provides connectivity efficiency for the Internet and other applications, including the PSD website and Student Information System.

To the Commissionars, I just want to say this: I can see that you guys are indeed trying to fix this SPAM thing and better our email technology, but I feel strongly that you are all going about it the WRONG way!! I mean, yes our email system has issues. We have to deal with Spam, email snoopers, and theft issues. So what can be done about all of this? Well, what if instead of trying to repair an UNFIXABLE email system, we instead, create a new one? A better one, that is secure and everything email needs to be! Now, I am not sure why this commision has not thought of this, or maybe you have and just not acted on it, BUT YOU MUST! The way things are going, with you guys, you are going to do more harm than good. I myself am thinking about starting an online business that deals heavely with email. And frankly, you guys scare me. I got an email from a very respected online marketer, one of my contacts, and he urged me to comment on all of this, for the simple reason - we must protect ourselves as ligitimit online email marketers. And I believe him. I know you guys are trying to help, and spam does suck, but do you understand what is going to happen to ligitimit businesses that use email? So, my sujestion here is that someone over there should take a look at what THE PEOPLE are doing about all of this. You asked if there was any new technologies that came about or are comming about since Jan 1, well YES there is. www.revemail.com is all you need to look at! To whom ever is reading this, please, just type that address into a browser, and see for yourself! Then, maybe, talk about it with someone. Why? Two reasons. 1 - email as we know it is unrepairable, except that! 2 - you can either keep trying to do what you are doing, or you can join THE PEOPLE, and make it that much stronger. You see, this email system as we know it has many many problems, but it is also very good, if used in the right way. The problem is, is that alot of people abuse it. So, maybe a brand new system is needed! And it is already here! A system with NO issues. A system corrects ALL of the holes we have found email to create. See for yourself! Either, convert with it, or keep wasting you time on a system that can't be fixed, and hurting ligitimit businesses. That is all !!

February 11, 2010 | Tips from Travellers > Prince George, Car / Truck / Motorcycle
View a larger image on flickr.com
They are adorable, they are everywhere you turn, my kids love them, but what the heck are those things? This is the question that is sometimes asked about the Olympic mascots. Out of curiosity (and so I could answer my daughter's questions) I did a bit of research and found out the following about the mascots and some other BC creatures:
The Mascots:
Miga: a young sea bear (part killer whale, part Kermode bear), who can be found surfing the waves of Tofino in the summer and snowboarding Vancouver's local mountains in the winter.
Sumi: a spirit who lives in the mountains of BC and comes from many different backgrounds (representing the diverse backgrounds of Canadians).
Quatchi: a young hockey loving Sasquatch who comes from the mysterious mountains of Canada.
MukMuk: not an official mascot, but more of a sidekick and supporter of Miga, Sumi and Quatchi. Mukmuk is a Vancouver Island marmot, which lives in the mountains of Vancouver Island.
Other BC creatures:
Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot): This mythical creature has allegedly been spotted from the Fraser Valley up to Prince George. While there have been Sasquatch reports all over the world, over half of the reported sightings have happened in BC.
Ogopogo: A lake monster that lies in the Lake Okanagan. Depending on who you ask, it's part snake, goat and/or horse. Reports have varied on its actual size (from 5 m to 25 m). There is an average of six Ogopogo sightings a year of this monster.
The Grizz: A man with shoulders six feet wide who wears a grizzly bear coat and hat and lives in the mountains near Fernie Alpine Resort. He shoots a giant musket into clouds so powder ssow drops from the clouds and covers the resort. In February of each year the town of Fernie hold a festival in his honour.

Virt-Manager & Co: Updated Virtualization Helpers
Red Hat's Emerging Technologies working group has now released Virtual Machine Manager (Virt-manager) version 0.5.0, a desktop application that gives administrators the ability to manage virtual machines running on, say, Xen.
The Python program with its GTK+ front-end draws on the functionality of the LGPL virtualization library, Libvirt. Development has focused on para-virtualization with Xen, however, guest systems on KVM and QEmu are also supported.
The new version is the first with the ability to manage remote virtual machines. To allow this to happen, the manager either relies on SSH Public Key Authentication, or TLS with X509 certificates. Virtual Machine Viewer, which is used for VNC connections to guest systems with graphical interfaces, has the same abilities. The program is still alpha with 0.0.2 being the current version, and is from the same Red Hat software development foundry.
At the same time, version 0.300.0 of the Virt-install command line program for installing guest systems on Xen was released. It also includes the Virt-image tool which creates guest system images based on templates.
All of these programs are available on the Virt-Manager homepage and released under GPLv2 a tar-gz archives, which you can download here.

Plato on Women and Property
"Philosopher Queens and Private Wives." Philosophy & Public Affairs 6(Summer 1977):345–369. Plato's enigmatic ideas on women can only be understood in the light of his views on the role of private property. Plato seriously contradicts himself by initially declaring that woman is equal in status and capabilities to man, and that she should be raised exactly like man. His later writings, however, prove that Plato changed his thinking on woman: she is to be viewed as the private property of man, having a different nature than man's, and considered only a "legal minor" in the government's eyes. Plato's dialogue on the Republic describes the need to abolish private property, and thus the private family. This dissolves women's traditional role in society, freeing her to develop the talents and capabilities that had been previously suppressed. The difference between the sexes is reduced to their roles in procreation, thus the natures of man and woman become identical. Plato radically proposes education and lifestyle of men and women also to be identical. To achieve the good of this communal society, the abolition of traditional sex roles is more in accordance with nature than is the conventional adherence to them. By contrast, in the Laws, Plato reinstates private property, requiring monogamy and private households. Women are restored to the class of "private wives" (as the Greek society dictates), with all that this entails. Plato does not actually change his statements about women's potential, in fact his beliefs on this subject are stronger in Laws than in Republic. However, because of the economic and social structure he has prescribed in Laws, he cannot carry out the revolution in the woman's role that would seem to follow his beliefs. The difference between the two dialogues follows from the abolition of private property and the family, in the interest of unity in the Republic, and their reinstatement in the Laws. When a female is once again perceived as a privately owned appendage of a man with her function defined by the needs of her family, the socialization prescribed for her must ensure that her "nature" is shaped and preserved to fulfill this role. |

A new tri-metrogen K-17-B aerial camera installation, consisting of three cameras positioned and times to record the terrain from horizon to horizon was used. The test flight proved the new jet type aircraft perfect for any Air Forces mapping job.

Our application has two tomcat server; TomcatA uses Spring remoting (apache commons HttpClient) to make service/remote calls to tomcatB.
Users connect to tomcatA and that's where there credentials are validated; The current interfaces/api to the remote methods does not provide for any facility for passing any additional parameters/arguments and our requirement is now to pass the user credentials (or at least the username) to tomcatB from tomcatA for logging purposes as to which user invoked the remote method.
Is there anyway that we can pass each user's information when the application invokes the remote method to the underlying commons http client via the spring framework so that it can be retrieved at the server (tomcatB) ?
Any suggestions are appreciated, Many thanks

text: New power plants and conservation have led to an expected surplus of energy in the Pacific Northwest this year. The Northwest Power and Conservation Council estimates the electricity supply will exceed demand by about 2,400 megawatts enough two run two cities the size of Seattle for a full year. The region is expected to have an adequate power supply for the next five years, analysts say. That's a huge improvement since 1999, when the region was some 4,000 megawatts short of a full load. That deficit combined with sustained drought and regulatory problems in California led finally to rolling blackouts and brownouts throughout the West, and tremendous price spikes. But since then, council analysts say, supply has increased by about 15 percent as new power plants have come online. At the same time, demand has dropped by some 10 percent thanks to conservation measures and cutbacks by large industrial users.

The Galapagos Odyssey cruise to the Northern Islands of the Galapagos on an exciting 5-day small ship cruise that takes you to the famous Genovesa, a prime nesting site of red-footed booby, before bringing you to places like Bartolomé Island and Rábida Island for opportunities to admire the interactions of a colony of flamingos in its beautiful lagoon.
The Odyssey Northern Islands Cruise can be combined with the Central or Eastern Islands Cruise to create a 10-day/9-night itinerary or both for a comprehensive 15-day/14-night cruise.

Galapagos Odyssey Main Page
Day 1 - SUN - Baltra to Dragon Hill, Santa Cruz
Upon arrival at Baltra Airport, pass through an airport inspection point to insure that no foreign plants or animals are introduced to the islands, as well as to pay the park entrance fee of $100 (unless it has been prepaid). A guide will meet you, help you collect your luggage and escort you on a short bus ride to the harbor and then on board M/Y Odyssey. After departure and lunch, the first island excursion is made at Santa Cruz Island's Dragon Hill for beautiful views of the bay. This site has been open for visits since 1993 and consists of a trail that lead to a hyper-saline lagoon behind the beach, frequented by flamingos, pintail ducks and other species of birds. This site has been re populated with land iguanas from Seymour, Isabela and Santa Cruz islands. Take a short walk to Dragon Hill for a beautiful view of the bay.

Included Meals:
lunch and dinner
Day 2 - MON - Rabida & Chinese Hat, Santiago
Rábida Island is unique because the red color of the rocks and sand. The volcanic material in this island is very porous and external factors like rain, salt water and sea breeze have acted as an oxidizing agent. Enjoy a short walk along a trail leading to a coastal lagoon behind the beach that permits the observation of land birds as finches, doves, yellow warblers and mocking birds. At the lagoon, admire the interactions of a colony of flamingos. After lunch, head to the small (1 sq km) islet known as Chinese Hat. It is a recent volcanic cone, shaped like a Chinese hat when seen from north side. This is an excellent visit for interpretation of geological features such as lava tubes and lava flows. The landscape is covered by sea lions colonies, marine iguanas and Galapagos penguins.
Galapagos Odyssey
Included Meals:
breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 3 - TUE - El Barranco & Darwin Bay, Genovesa
This morning's excursion begins at Darwin Bay with a wet landing on a beautiful white coral sandy beach. This bay originated when the crater of this island collapsed below sea level and it's a favorite site for birdwatchers: red footed-booby, masked boobies, wandering tattlers, lava gulls, whimbrels, yellow-crowned, black-crowned and lava herons and yellow warblers can be seen in the area. Following a trail, climb gradually to the edge of the cliff seeing red-foots nesting in the mangrove trees below. Bird watching includes sightings of sharp-beaked finches, large cactus and ground finches, Galapagos doves and swallow-tailed gulls. Reaching the end the trail at the cliff's edge offers an incredible view of the island and the many birds living there.
The afternoon's excursion takes place at El Barranco, also known as Prince Philip's Steps, located in the southern part of Darwin Bay. Climb to a plateau that is part of the stretch of land that surrounds Darwin Bay on its eastern side for wildlife viewing. There is a big population of masked and red-footed boobies in the tree; storm petrels and short-eared owls have found in Genovesa lava flows, the ideal place for nesting.
Galapagos Odyssey
Included Meals:
breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 4 - WED - Bartolomé Island & Sullivan Bay, Santiago
Bartolomé Island is situated across Sullivan Bay. It has an altitude of 114 meters, from where you can observe one of the most beautiful sceneries of the Galapagos Islands: volcanic cones, lunar-like craters, lava fields and the famous Toba-formed pinnacle eroded by the sea. There is very little vegetation on this island, yet it has two breathtaking beaches where marine turtles exist and at the base of the pinnacle, as well as a very small colony of Galapagos penguins.
After lunch, cross over to Sullivan Bay for a tour of Santiago Island. Along with some of the large western volcanoes of Isabela and Fernandina, Santiago is also volcanically active, with many young flows and cones to be seen, particularly along the south, west and east coasts. These may even be seen from the summit of Darwin Volcano and from space. A number of historic eruptions have been reported over the last two centuries. Santiago actually consists of two coalesced volcanoes: a typical shield volcano on the northwest end and a low, linear fissure volcano on the southeast end.
Galapagos Odyssey
Included Meals:
breakfast, lunch and dinner
Day 5 - THR - Santa Cruz Highlands to Baltra
Start the day with a hike up to Santa Cruz's highlands. The trail leaves from Bellavista and passes through the agricultural zone, near the National Park boundary, the Miconia zone, and then goes to the Fern and Sedge zone. With clear weather (unpredictable), this area affords beautiful scenes of rolling hills and extinct volcanic cones covered with grass and lush greenery all year round. After your highlands hike, transfer to the Baltra airport and fly back to Quito or Guayaquil.

Is it hot today or what?! Actually, it's been SUPER hot for a while now and it doesn't seem to be letting up much lately. All across the U.S. the temperature has been 100 degrees and today it's going down to the 90's… but that's still a bit WAY too hot for me. So in order to cool off (at least a little bit) and also make sure that I'm staying safe and healthy, despite all of this crazy oh-my-god-I-think-I'm-melting weather, I've devised a few sure-fire ways to beat this oh-please-go-away-soon heat wave that are fun for the whole family.
Read more ¿Qué más? 5 Latin drinks to cool down in this record heat!
1. Get outside but put on PLENTY of sunscreen: Remember that one of the most important things, if you're planning to do just about anything outside, is to put on sunscreen. I know that I'm really not the best when it comes to applying it, but… I'm learning my lesson! Sunscreen is VERY important for you and your family, whether you're going to be barbecuing, going to the beach or pool or anything else that's fun for all.
2. Make some delicious Latin cool down drinks: Okay, so, the actual #1 thing that you need to keep in mind when it's WAY-TOO-HOT outside is to keep hydrated. Whenever I've read about people dying or suffering, it's all because they're probably not drinking enough water. But I know water isn't necessarily always enough, which is why I love getting together and making some classic Latin cool down drinks to stay comfortable.
3. Indulge in some oh-so-fun indoor activities: Well, if it's just too hot for you to go outside, then why not spend the day having fun with your family inside? One of my friends was looking for things to do and I suggested that she take her kids to the library, go hang out in a coffee shop or even go to the movies or do some shopping. My other favorite thing to do is play games (whether board games or on a console) and have fun with everyone.

We just pushed a new design for Ruby Science. Previous purchasers and Prime subscribers can grab the update on Learn.
The new design includes a new layout, which is much more appropriate for a book. We updated the typeface and font size to improve the experience when reading the book on a screen as opposed to a printed page. The margin size is also greatly reduced, making it easier to zoom in on a laptop screen and bring the text right to the edges.

Get access to exclusive subscriber content, as well as access to our private Campfire room, where you can get live help from thoughtbot designers and developers.
Let's say that we have an app that makes use of image assets for icons, custom progress bars, etc. Now we want to allow users to theme the app, and these images need to conform to this new color scheme. The obvious solution is to add 1x and 2x versions of every single possible image asset in the app, right?
No, of course not. Duplication is bad, and duplicating images is just another form of duplication. But we're clever folks, I'm sure we can find a nice way around this!
We'll start out with a simple image that we need to tint to our new color scheme. It has an alpha channel, but it's a flat color and the new color is going to be flat as well.
The smart way to do this would be to redraw the image using a new color using CoreGraphics
. Let's consider the steps needed to make this happen:
Looks pretty straightforward, but retaining the alpha channel will likely be the trickiest part of the exercise. Looking into the UIImage
documentation, we know we're going to want to use -drawInRect:blendMode:alpha:
to draw the new image. Looking at the available blending modes leaves us a little… confused:
R = S*Da + D*(1 - Sa)
Available in iOS 2.0 and later.
Declared in CGContext.h.
That's not actually super helpful. Let's keep reading, I guess.
The blend mode constants introduced in OS X v10.5 represent the Porter-Duff blend modes.
The symbols in the equations for these blend modes are:
R is the premultiplied result
S is the source color, and includes alpha
D is the destination color, and includes alpha
Ra, Sa, and Da are the alpha components of R, S, and D
Ah, ok. So we need to do some translation here. What we're looking for is a blending mode that will draw the new color (Destination, represented by D
) using the alpha components from the source (represented by Sa
). Looking through the available options armed with this new knowledge, we find one that looks promising:
R = D*Sa
Available in iOS 2.0 and later.
Declared in CGContext.h.
That looks like it's using the right components, but there's only one way to be completely sure. Let's get ready for some good old fashioned trial and error. First, we'll go ahead and create a category on UIImage
// UIImage+Tint.h
@interface UIImage (Tint)
- (UIImage *)tintedImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor;
This feels like a nice interface. We can assume that we will either have the image that needs tinting, or we can simply chain it together with -imageNamed:
to grab the image from the bundle. Now for the initial implementation:
// UIImage+Tint.m
#import "UIImage+Tint.h"
@implementation UIImage (Tint)
- (UIImage *)tintedImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor
// It's important to pass in 0.0f to this function to draw the image to the scale of the screen
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, NO, 0.0f);
[tintColor setFill];
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height);
[self drawInRect:bounds blendMode:kCGBlendModeDestinationIn alpha:1.0];
UIImage *tintedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
return tintedImage;
Plugging this into our app is as simple as [[UIImage imageNamed:@"ralph"] tintedImageWithColor:[UIColor thoughtbotRed]];
That was simple enough. But what if we want to retain a gradient from the image? Let's say we have a nice grayscale button that should be skinned as well:
All we have to do is pass it through our tint method, and voila!
Oops. Looking back at the blending mode, this won't work at all. The only things that kCGBlendModeDestinationIn
takes into account are the destination color, and the source alpha. We're losing all of the grayscale info from the source image. Looks like we still have more work to do. Once again, we turn to the documentation, and find kCGBlendModeOverlay
Either multiplies or screens the source image samples with the background image samples,
depending on the background color. The result is to overlay the existing image samples
while preserving the highlights and shadows of the background. The background color mixes
with the source image to reflect the lightness or darkness of the background.
Available in iOS 2.0 and later.
Declared in CGContext.h.
That sounds like it should tint our gradient nicely. But we don't want to change the current behavior. This calls for some refactoring. The new interface becomes:
// UIImage+Tint.h
@interface UIImage (Tint)
- (UIImage *)tintedGradientImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor;
- (UIImage *)tintedImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor;
And the new implementation:
// UIImage+Tint.m
#import "UIImage+Tint.h"
@implementation UIImage (Tint)
#pragma mark - Public methods
- (UIImage *)tintedGradientImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor
return [self tintedImageWithColor:tintColor blendingMode:kCGBlendModeOverlay];
- (UIImage *)tintedImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor
return [self tintedImageWithColor:tintColor blendingMode:kCGBlendModeDestinationIn];
#pragma mark - Private methods
- (UIImage *)tintedImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor blendingMode:(CGBlendMode)blendMode
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, NO, 0.0f);
[tintColor setFill];
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height);
[self drawInRect:bounds blendMode:blendMode alpha:1.0f];
UIImage *tintedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
return tintedImage;
This gets us closer, but you can see that now we've lost our alpha information.
Since kCGBlendModeOverlay
doesn't take the source alpha into account, we need to try to get that back. There's a very simple way that we can accomplish this. We already know that kCGBlendModeDestinationIn` draws the destination image in the source alpha, so we can conditionally redraw the image using this mode:
// UIImage+Tint.m
- (UIImage *)tintedImageWithColor:(UIColor *)tintColor blendingMode:(CGBlendMode)blendMode
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, NO, 0.0f);
[tintColor setFill];
CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.size.width, self.size.height);
[self drawInRect:bounds blendMode:blendMode alpha:1.0f];
if (blendMode != kCGBlendModeDestinationIn)
[self drawInRect:bounds blendMode:kCGBlendModeDestinationIn alpha:1.0];
UIImage *tintedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
return tintedImage;
And we finally have the desired image:
This image is perfect to assign to a static variable to allow it to be used app-wide, without having to redraw.
By using CoreGraphics
to tint our images for us, we open ourselves up to a much wider range of functionality in our apps, and we get the added benefit of smaller bundle sizes, and reduced asset duplication.
Be sure to check out the many different blending modes available in Apple's documentation. You can check out the sample app that includes the code used here on GitHub.
We have two online workshops scheduled for January, 2013. If you've always wanted to take one of our workshops, but couldn't travel to Boston or SF, these online versions will give you the same great education in a format custom-tailored to the online experience.
Design for Developers. This workshop is for developers who want to better understand the language and practice of visual design. This workshop starts January 4th, 2013.
Test-Driven Rails. By the end of the workshop, you will know how to do Test-Driven Development using RSpec and Capybara. This workshop starts January 11th, 2013.
Each of the workshops lasts 4 weeks and is a mix of pre-recorded lessons with extended periods of hands-on practice, one-on-one support, and group online office hours. Signing up today gets you the first video lesson while you wait for the workshop to start.
After the course ends, you'll still have access to the course videos, instructor, and thoughtbot team who will answer any ongoing questions you have about the topic. You'll also have access to any updates we make to the course in the future.
And as with everything at learn.thoughtbot.com, if you're not happy, just let us know within 30 days and we'll refund your money. It's as simple as that.
I hope we'll see you in one of the courses!
In the previous article, we explored different techniques to customize the look and feel of UIButton, assigning to each a difficulty level based on the complexity of the Objective-C code involved in the implementation. What I intentionally left out mentioning however, is that some of these methods come with non-trivial performance ramifications that should be taken into consideration when choosing one over another.
In order to understand how performance is affected, we need to have a closer look at the technology stack behind graphics in iOS. This block diagram represents the different frameworks and libraries and how they relate to each other:
In the topmost layer, there is UIKit—a high-level Objective-C framework that manages the graphical user interface in iOS. It is made up of a collection of classes, each corresponding to a specific UI control such as UIButton and UILabel. UIKit itself is built on top of Core Animation, a framework introduced in OS X Leopard and ported to iOS to power the smooth transitions that it later became known for.
Deeper in the stack we have OpenGL ES, an open-standard library for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics on mobile devices. It is widely used for game graphics and powers both Core Animation and UIKit. The last piece in the software stack is Core Graphics—historically referred to as Quartz—which is a CPU-based drawing engine that made its debut on OS X. These two low-level frameworks are both written in the C programming language.
The bottom row in the diagram represents the hardware stack, composed of the the graphics card (GPU) and the main processor (CPU).
We talk about hardware acceleration when the GPU is used for compositing and rendering graphics, such as the case for OpenGL and the Core Animation/UIKit implementations built on top of it. Until recently, hardware acceleration was a major advantage that iOS held over Android; most animations in the latter felt noticeably choppier as a result of its reliance on the CPU for drawing.
Offscreen drawing on the other hand refers to the process of generating bitmap graphics in the background using the CPU before handing them off to the GPU for onscreen rendering. In iOS, offscreen drawing occurs automatically in any of the following cases:
method, even with an empty implementation.shouldRasterize
property set to YES.setMasksToBounds
) and dynamic shadows (setShadow*
).As a general rule, offscreen drawing affects performance when animation is involved. You can inspect which parts of the UI are being drawn offscreen using Instruments with an iOS device:
Update: As Alex pointed out in the comments, you can also inspect offscreen rendering by checking the Debug > Color Offscreen-Rendered option in the iOS Simulator. Unless you are doing performance tests—which was the case here—using the simulator is the easiest and most straightforward way to inspect offscreen rendering.
Let's now have a look at the performance footprint of each of the previously introduced approaches.
Customizing our button with a UIImage
background relies entirely on the GPU for rendering the image assets saved on disk. The resizable background image variant is considered the least resource-hungry approach since it results in smaller app bundles and takes advantage of hardware acceleration when stretching or tiling pixels.
The CALayer-based method we implemented requires offscreen-drawing passes as it uses masking to render rounded corners. We also had to explicitly disable the animation that comes turned on by default when using Core Animation. Bottom line, unless you need animated transitions, this technique is not adequate for custom drawing.
The drawRect
method relies on Core Graphics to do the custom drawing, but its main drawback lies in the way it handles touch events: each time the button is pressed, setNeedsDisplay
forces it to redraw; not only once, but twice for every single tap. This is not a good use of CPU and memory, especially if there are multiple instances of our UIButton in the interface.
So, does this mean that using pre-rendered assets is the only viable solution? The short answer is no. If you still need the flexibility of drawing with code, there are techniques to optimize your code and reduce its performance footprint. One way is to generate a stretchable bitmap image and reuse it across all instances.
We'll start by creating a new subclass of UIButton
following the same steps detailed in the previous tutorial, then we'll define our class-level static variables:
// In CBHybrid.m
#import "CBHybrid.h"
@implementation CBHybrid
// Resizable background image for normal state
static UIImage *gBackgroundImage;
// Resizable background image for highlighted state
static UIImage *gBackgroundImageHighlighted;
// Background image border radius and height
static int borderRadius = 5;
static int height = 37;
Next we will move our drawing code from drawRect
in CBBezier
to a new helper method, with a couple of changes: we will generate a resizable image instead of a full-sized one, then we will save the output to a static variable for later reuse:
- (UIImage *)drawBackgroundImageHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted {
// Drawing code goes here
First, we need to get the width of our resizable image. For optimal performance, we want a 1pt stretchable area in the vertical center of the image.
float width = 1 + (borderRadius * 2);
The height matters less in this case, as long as the button is tall enough for the gradient to be visible. The value of 37pt was picked to match the height of the other buttons.
Moving on, we need a bitmap context to draw into, so let's create one:
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(CGSizeMake(width, height), NO, 0.0);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
Setting the second boolean argument to NO
will ensure that our image context is not opaque. The last argument is for the scale factor (screen density). When set to 0.0
it defaults the scale factor of the device.
The next block will be exactly like our previous Core Graphics implementation in CBBezier
, save for updated values and the use of the highlighted
argument instead of the default self.highlighted
// Gradient Declarations
// NSArray *gradientColors = ...
// Draw rounded rectangle bezier path
UIBezierPath *roundedRectanglePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect: CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height) cornerRadius: borderRadius];
// Use the bezier as a clipping path
[roundedRectanglePath addClip];
// Use one of the two gradients depending on the state of the button
CGGradientRef background = highlighted? highlightedGradient : gradient;
// Draw gradient within the path
CGContextDrawLinearGradient(context, background, CGPointMake(140, 0), CGPointMake(140, height-1), 0);
// Draw border
// [borderColor setStroke...
// Draw Inner Glow
// UIBezierPath *innerGlowRect...
The only step we will need to add compared to CBBezier
is a method that saves the output in a UIImage
and a call to UIGraphicsEndImageContext
to clean up after us.
UIImage* backgroundImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
// Cleanup
Now that we have a method to generate our background images, we will have to implement a common initializer method that will instantiate these images and set them up as the background for our CBHybrid
- (void)setupBackgrounds {
// Generate background images if necessary
if (!gBackgroundImage && !gBackgroundImageHighlighted) {
gBackgroundImage = [[self drawBackgroundImageHighlighted:NO] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(borderRadius, borderRadius, borderRadius, borderRadius) resizingMode:UIImageResizingModeStretch];
gBackgroundImageHighlighted = [[self drawBackgroundImageHighlighted:YES] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(borderRadius, borderRadius, borderRadius, borderRadius) resizingMode:UIImageResizingModeStretch];
// Set background for the button instance
[self setBackgroundImage:gBackgroundImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self setBackgroundImage:gBackgroundImageHighlighted forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
We'll proceed by setting the button type to custom
and implementing initWithCoder
(or initWithFrame
if the button instance is created in code):
+ (CBHybrid *)buttonWithType:(UIButtonType)type
return [super buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder {
self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder];
if (self) {
[self setupBackgrounds];
return self;
To make sure that the new subclass is working properly, duplicate one of the buttons in Interface Builder and change its class to CBHybrid
. Change the button content to CGContext-generated image then build and run.
The full subclass code can be found here.
When all is said and done, pre-rendered assets would still perform better than any code-based solution. Then again, there is much to gain in terms of flexibility and efficiency once Core Graphicsis tamed—that and a hybrid approach like the one we just covered would not affect performance to any noticeable degree on today's hardware.
Update: Andy Matuschak, a member of the UIKit team, was once again kind enough to provide more clarifications about offscreen rendering as well as some good insights about cache-purging in the comments section.

Lions Can't Come To Terms With Avril
Posted: 2:00 PM Jul 16, 2012
Reporter: Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) -- Cliff Avril says negotiations on a long-term contract with the Detroit Lions have ended.
Avril says he wasn't mad when he knew Monday that a deal wasn't going to get done before the 4 p.m. EDT deadline.
He will stay in Detroit as a franchise-tagged defensive end for at least one more season with a $10.6 million, one-year contract.
The 26-year-old Avril was hoping to be rewarded with a multiyear contract for being a consistent playmaker for an improving team. He had career highs with 11 sacks, six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries last year to help the Lions snap their 11-season postseason drought.

OcBible v1.54 is available!
Some minutes ago the new version uploaded on Aoaforums.
Click here to download it Totally 16 new features! OcBible manuals are here The program is freeware of course it does not modify Windows registry or other files. Moderators please specify that the program runs under Windows 2000/XP (with Vista may crash). The previous version is here but you should remove it IMHO and refresh the page there adding the new one. Moreover add the TechPowerUp! thread here for support. Softpedia here has many screen captures. Finally upload the program such as OcBible v1.54 not as OcBible.
