Creating complex UIBezierPath is a hard work, almost impossible from what i have seen.

Let's say i want to create this:

I know this can be done mathematically, but is there any known tool for creating such a path?

something that will translate the image to a path, even if it means i have to manually draw the path while the tool is "taking notes" and eventually will output my needed path?

I have tried this:iPhone app

But i can't set a background for reference.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

There is a wonderful app called PaintCode.

Answer 2

If you have Adobe Illustrator, you can use the drawscript plug in available at http://drawscri.pt/

Check out DrawKit

DrawKit attempts to do for drawing applications what Cocoa's text system does for text applications. It provides a set of interrelated classes which implement a complete vector-drawing framework, while trying to maximise flexibility and remaining agnostic about the final end use of the application. To this end, it provides:

• A fully abstracted "drawing" data model
• Unlimited drawing layers
• Any number of views can be simultaneously attached to view and edit the drawing
• A complete hierarchy of classes for vector drawing objects
• Specialised layers for grids, guides and drawing meta-data panels
• "Real-world" coordinates in millimetres, inches, kilometers or whatever you need
• A standardized selection mechanism and selection "knobs" just works, but easily customisable.
• Styles can be shared among objects or individually attached
• Classes for gradient fills, Bézier pattern fills, strokes and hatches
• Interactively editable Bézier paths of any complexity
• Draw bezier paths point-by-point or "freehand" with automatic smoothing
• Any image format supported by NSImage can be added as a standard object
• Convert any image to vector form†
• Editable text objects
• Text or any other shape or image on a path
• Add arrow heads to any path; automatic dimensioning lines for CAD-type applications
• Built-in snap to grid, snap to guides, align and distribute objects
• Group and Ungroup objects to any degree of nesting. Groups can be rotated and scaled like any object
• Rotate, Scale, Skew, Perspective and Free Distort transformations
• Union, Difference, Intersection and Exclusive-Or (Boolean Ops) on any pair of paths or shapes*
• Combine, Join or Break Apart arbitrary paths
• All object types can be freely interconverted
• A large array of built-in object path shapes which is simply extendible
• Simple tool-based drawing paradigm
• Core Image Effects may be applied to any object
• Undo handled for you
• Export any part of the drawing (or whole) as a PDF, JPEG, PNG or TIFF image
• All drawing ultimately performed by Quartz for spectacular quality
• Efficient object storage and drawing model for good performance

I'm not the author of it, but I have used it, and i like it (once I got it compiled, etc.)
