Comparing modern vs legacy graphics context rendering on iOS

legacy = UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions + UIGraphicsEndImageContext

modern = UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat + UIGraphicsImageRenderer

Take aways:

  • "modern" w/ prefersExtendedRange = NO
    • basically the same perf as "legacy"
    • probably a good idea to adopt since optimizations will likely be in "modern" first
  • "modern" w/ prefersExtendedRange = YES

Wraps the six UICollectionViewFlowLayout delegate methods and their equivalent properties using functional programming techniques, so that values are easier to retrieve.

// But by following this convention we can simplify error handling

Macros for creating NSArray and NSSet objects as replacement for @[…] literal.
// Macros for creating NSArray and NSSet objects as replacement for @[…] literal.
let components = NSArray(street, city, state, country);
// Advantages:
// 1. Type of NSArray is inferred, in this case it’s NSArray<NSString *> *
// 2. List of objects is type-checked, so mixing types like NSArray(@42, @"Hi") will report compilation error.
// 3. Ability to allocate any class, not just NSArray. For example NSSet and NSMutableArray.
// 4. Avoids stupid clang bracket matching bug, if you know what I mean.
