How to draw a line in the simplest way in swift

I am fairly new to swift and Xcode and I am trying to make a tic tac toe game. I have everything figured out except how to draw a line through the three x's or o's. I have no idea on how to draw lines. I have looked on the web for the answer and can't figure it out.

Solution 1:

Try looking into UIBezierPath, it will help you a lot for drawing lines. Here is documentation. Here is an example:

override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {
    let aPath = UIBezierPath()

    aPath.move(to: CGPoint(x:<#start x#>, y:<#start y#>))
    aPath.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: <#end x#>, y: <#end y#>))

    // Keep using the method addLine until you get to the one where about to close the path
    aPath.close()

    // If you want to stroke it with a red color
    UIColor.red.set()
    aPath.lineWidth = <#line width#>
    aPath.stroke()
}

Make sure you put this code in the drawRect, like in the example above.

If you need to update the drawing just call setNeedsDisplay() to update.

Solution 2:

Update for Swift 3.x using Epic Defeater's example

override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        let aPath = UIBezierPath()

        aPath.move(to: CGPoint(x:20, y:50))

        aPath.addLine(to: CGPoint(x:300, y:50))

        //Keep using the method addLineToPoint until you get to the one where about to close the path

        aPath.close()

        //If you want to stroke it with a red color
        UIColor.red.set()
        aPath.stroke()
        //If you want to fill it as well
        aPath.fill()
    }
