Drawing an Arrow with Swift

UIBezier+Arrow.swift

extension UIBezierPath {
  
  class func getAxisAlignedArrowPoints(inout points: Array<CGPoint>, forLength: CGFloat, tailWidth: CGFloat, headWidth: CGFloat, headLength: CGFloat ) {

    let tailLength = forLength - headLength
    points.append(CGPointMake(0, tailWidth/2))
    points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, tailWidth/2))
    points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, headWidth/2))
    points.append(CGPointMake(forLength, 0))
    points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, -headWidth/2))
    points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, -tailWidth/2))
    points.append(CGPointMake(0, -tailWidth/2))

  }
  
  
  class func transformForStartPoint(startPoint: CGPoint, endPoint: CGPoint, length: CGFloat) -> CGAffineTransform{
    let cosine: CGFloat = (endPoint.x - startPoint.x)/length
    let sine: CGFloat = (endPoint.y - startPoint.y)/length
    
    return CGAffineTransformMake(cosine, sine, -sine, cosine, startPoint.x, startPoint.y)
  }
  
  
  class func bezierPathWithArrowFromPoint(startPoint:CGPoint, endPoint: CGPoint, tailWidth: CGFloat, headWidth: CGFloat, headLength: CGFloat) -> UIBezierPath {
    
    let xdiff: Float = Float(endPoint.x) - Float(startPoint.x)
    let ydiff: Float = Float(endPoint.y) - Float(startPoint.y)
    let length = hypotf(xdiff, ydiff)
    
    var points = [CGPoint]()
    self.getAxisAlignedArrowPoints(&points, forLength: CGFloat(length), tailWidth: tailWidth, headWidth: headWidth, headLength: headLength)
    
    var transform: CGAffineTransform = self.transformForStartPoint(startPoint, endPoint: endPoint, length:  CGFloat(length))
    
    var cgPath: CGMutablePathRef = CGPathCreateMutable()
    CGPathAddLines(cgPath, &transform, points, 7)
    CGPathCloseSubpath(cgPath)
    
    var uiPath: UIBezierPath = UIBezierPath(CGPath: cgPath)
    return uiPath
  }
}

How to use it between views?

how to draw curved arrow ???

let arrowPath = UIBezier. bezierPathWithArrowFromPoint(CGPointMake(0,0), CGPointMake(0,20), 4, 8, 6)

How overlay this arrowPath on UIImageView() ?

Updated for Swift 5:

`extension UIBezierPath {
class func getAxisAlignedArrowPoints(points: inout [CGPoint], forLength: CGFloat, tailWidth: CGFloat, headWidth: CGFloat, headLength: CGFloat) {
let tailLength = forLength - headLength
points.append(CGPointMake(0, tailWidth / 2))
points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, tailWidth / 2))
points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, headWidth / 2))
points.append(CGPointMake(forLength, 0))
points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, -headWidth / 2))
points.append(CGPointMake(tailLength, -tailWidth / 2))
points.append(CGPointMake(0, -tailWidth / 2))
}

class func transformForStartPoint(startPoint: CGPoint, endPoint: CGPoint, length: CGFloat) -> CGAffineTransform {
    let cosine: CGFloat = (endPoint.x - startPoint.x) / length
    let sine: CGFloat = (endPoint.y - startPoint.y) / length

    return CGAffineTransformMake(cosine, sine, -sine, cosine, startPoint.x, startPoint.y)
}

class func bezierPathWithArrowFromPoint(startPoint: CGPoint,
                                        endPoint: CGPoint,
                                        tailWidth: CGFloat,
                                        headWidth: CGFloat,
                                        headLength: CGFloat) -> UIBezierPath
{
    let xdiff = Float(endPoint.x) - Float(startPoint.x)
    let ydiff = Float(endPoint.y) - Float(startPoint.y)
    let length = hypotf(xdiff, ydiff)

    var points = [CGPoint]()
    getAxisAlignedArrowPoints(points: &points, forLength: CGFloat(length), tailWidth: tailWidth, headWidth: headWidth, headLength: headLength)

    let transform: CGAffineTransform = transformForStartPoint(startPoint: startPoint, endPoint: endPoint, length: CGFloat(length))

    let cgPath = CGMutablePath()
    cgPath.addLines(between: points, transform: transform)
    cgPath.closeSubpath()

    let uiPath = UIBezierPath(cgPath: cgPath)
    return uiPath
}
