This is indeed outside of -drawRect, and it's a context I create myself, like
so:
// returns a new 'abstract' graphics context to draw in:
CGContextRef context = NULL;
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace;
void * bitmapData;
int bitmapByteCount;
int bitmapBytesPerRow;
bitmapBytesPerRow = (pixelsWide * 4);
bitmapByteCount = (bitmapBytesPerRow * pixelsHigh);
colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
bitmapData = malloc( bitmapByteCount );
if (bitmapData == NULL)
{
fprintf (stderr, "Memory not allocated!");
return NULL;
}
context = CGBitmapContextCreate (bitmapData,
pixelsWide,
pixelsHigh,
8,
// bits per component
bitmapBytesPerRow,
colorSpace,
kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast);
if (context== NULL)
{
free (bitmapData);
fprintf (stderr, "Context not created!");
return NULL;
}
CGColorSpaceRelease( colorSpace );
CGContextSetAllowsAntialiasing(context, YES);
CGContextSetShouldAntialias(context, YES);
return context;
