CGContextFillEllipseInRect: invalid context
- by hakewake
Hi all, when I launch my app, I keep getting this CGContextFillEllipseInRect: invalid context error. My app is simply to make the circle 'pinchable'.
The debugger shows me this:

My implementation file is:
//
// ImageView.m
// Erase
//
#import "ImageView.h"
#import "EraseViewController.h"
@implementation ImageView
-(void)setNewRect:(CGRect)anotherRect{
newRect = anotherRect;
}
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
if (self = [super initWithFrame:frame]) {
newRect = CGRectMake(0,0,0,0);
ref = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
}
return self;
}
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
static int counter = 0;
CGRect veryNewRect = CGRectMake(30.0, 210.0, 60.0, 60.0);
NSLog(@"I'm being redrawn.");
if (counter == 0){
CGContextFillEllipseInRect(ref, veryNewRect);
}
else{
CGContextFillEllipseInRect(ref, rect);
}
counter++;
NSLog(@"New value of counter is %d", counter);
}
- (void)setNeedsDisplay{
[super setNeedsDisplay];
[self drawRect:newRect];
}
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}
@end
I've got two questions:
1) Why is it updating counter 6 times? I removed the line [super setNeedsDisplay]; but it becomes 4 times.
2) What is that invalid context error?
Thanks guys.
