为什么UIBezierPath比Core Graphics路径快？

我正在研究绘图路径，并且发现至少在某些情况下，UIBezierPath的性能优于我认为相当于Core Graphics的性能。-drawRect:下面的方法创建两条路径：一条UIBezierPath和一条CGPath。路径除了位置外都是相同的，但是抚摸CGPath的时间大约是抚摸UIBezierPath的两倍。

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    // Create the two paths, cgpath and uipath.
    CGMutablePathRef cgpath = CGPathCreateMutable();
    CGPathMoveToPoint(cgpath, NULL, 0, 100);

    UIBezierPath *uipath = [[UIBezierPath alloc] init];
    [uipath moveToPoint:CGPointMake(0, 200)];

    // Add 200 curve segments to each path.
    int iterations = 200;
    CGFloat cgBaseline = 100;
    CGFloat uiBaseline = 200;
    CGFloat xincrement = self.bounds.size.width / iterations;
    for (CGFloat x1 = 0, x2 = xincrement;
         x2 < self.bounds.size.width;
         x1 = x2, x2 += xincrement)
    {
        CGPathAddCurveToPoint(cgpath, NULL, x1, cgBaseline-50, x2, cgBaseline+50, x2, cgBaseline);
        [uipath addCurveToPoint:CGPointMake(x2, uiBaseline)
                  controlPoint1:CGPointMake(x1, uiBaseline-50)
                  controlPoint2:CGPointMake(x2, uiBaseline+50)];
    }
    [[UIColor blackColor] setStroke];
    CGContextAddPath(ctx, cgpath);

    // Stroke each path.
    [self strokeContext:ctx];
    [self strokeUIBezierPath:uipath];

    [uipath release];
    CGPathRelease(cgpath);
}

- (void)strokeContext:(CGContextRef)context
{
    CGContextStrokePath(context);
}

- (void)strokeUIBezierPath:(UIBezierPath*)path
{
    [path stroke];
}

这两个路径都使用CGContextStrokePath（），因此我创建了单独的方法来描画每个路径，以便可以在Instruments中查看每个路径所用的时间。以下是典型结果（调用树倒置）；您可以看到这-strokeContext:需要9.5秒，而-strokeUIBezierPath:仅需5秒：

Running (Self)      Symbol Name
14638.0ms   88.2%               CGContextStrokePath
9587.0ms   57.8%                 -[QuartzTestView strokeContext:]
5051.0ms   30.4%                 -[UIBezierPath stroke]
5051.0ms   30.4%                  -[QuartzTestView strokeUIBezierPath:]

看来UIBezierPath在某种程度上优化了它创建的路径，或者我以一种幼稚的方式创建了CGPath。如何加快CGPath绘制速度？

您是正确的，因为UIBezierPath它只是Core Graphics的Objective-C包装器，因此将具有可比性。区别（以及性能差异的原因）是直接CGContext绘制图形时的状态CGPath与的设置完全不同UIBezierPath。如果您查看UIBezierPath，它具有以下设置：

• lineWidth，
• lineJoinStyle，
• lineCapStyle，
• miterLimit 和
• flatness

在检查对的调用（反汇编）时[path stroke]，您会注意到，它会在执行CGContextStrokePath调用之前根据先前的值配置当前图形上下文。如果在绘制CGPath之前执行相同的操作，它将执行相同的操作：

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    // Create the two paths, cgpath and uipath.
    CGMutablePathRef cgpath = CGPathCreateMutable();
    CGPathMoveToPoint(cgpath, NULL, 0, 100);

    UIBezierPath *uipath = [[UIBezierPath alloc] init];
    [uipath moveToPoint:CGPointMake(0, 200)];

    // Add 200 curve segments to each path.
    int iterations = 80000;
    CGFloat cgBaseline = 100;
    CGFloat uiBaseline = 200;
    CGFloat xincrement = self.bounds.size.width / iterations;
    for (CGFloat x1 = 0, x2 = xincrement;
         x2 < self.bounds.size.width;
         x1 = x2, x2 += xincrement)
    {
        CGPathAddCurveToPoint(cgpath, NULL, x1, cgBaseline-50, x2, cgBaseline+50, x2, cgBaseline);
        [uipath addCurveToPoint:CGPointMake(x2, uiBaseline)
                  controlPoint1:CGPointMake(x1, uiBaseline-50)
                  controlPoint2:CGPointMake(x2, uiBaseline+50)];
    }
    [[UIColor blackColor] setStroke];
    CGContextAddPath(ctx, cgpath);

    // Stroke each path
    CGContextSaveGState(ctx); {
        // configure context the same as uipath
        CGContextSetLineWidth(ctx, uipath.lineWidth);
        CGContextSetLineJoin(ctx, uipath.lineJoinStyle);
        CGContextSetLineCap(ctx, uipath.lineCapStyle);
        CGContextSetMiterLimit(ctx, uipath.miterLimit);
        CGContextSetFlatness(ctx, uipath.flatness);
        [self strokeContext:ctx];
        CGContextRestoreGState(ctx);
    }
    [self strokeUIBezierPath:uipath];

    [uipath release];
    CGPathRelease(cgpath);
}

- (void)strokeContext:(CGContextRef)context
{
    CGContextStrokePath(context);
}

- (void)strokeUIBezierPath:(UIBezierPath*)path
{
    [path stroke];
}
