How to get a list of points from a UIBezierPath?

by

You might try this:

UIBezierPath *yourPath; // Assume this has some points in it
CGPath yourCGPath = yourPath.CGPath;
NSMutableArray *bezierPoints = [NSMutableArray array];
CGPathApply(yourCGPath, bezierPoints, MyCGPathApplierFunc);

The path applier function will be handed each of the path’s path elements in turn.
Check out CGPathApplierFunction and CGPathApply.

The path applier function might look something like this

void MyCGPathApplierFunc (void *info, const CGPathElement *element) {
    NSMutableArray *bezierPoints = (NSMutableArray *)info;

    CGPoint *points = element->points;
    CGPathElementType type = element->type;

    switch(type) {
        case kCGPathElementMoveToPoint: // contains 1 point
            [bezierPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:points[0]]];
            break;
        
        case kCGPathElementAddLineToPoint: // contains 1 point
            [bezierPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:points[0]]];            
            break;
        
        case kCGPathElementAddQuadCurveToPoint: // contains 2 points
            [bezierPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:points[0]]];
            [bezierPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:points[1]]];            
            break;
        
        case kCGPathElementAddCurveToPoint: // contains 3 points
            [bezierPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:points[0]]];
            [bezierPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:points[1]]];
            [bezierPoints addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:points[2]]];
            break;
        
        case kCGPathElementCloseSubpath: // contains no point
            break;
    }
}
