SWIFT 3 SUPPORT COMING SOON. IF YOU HAVE URGENT NEED, PLEASE CONTACT OUR SUPPORT OR VISIT OUR WEBSITE (NEWS) FOR MORE INFO.

Save a tremendous amount of time with PaintCode 2.

The missing bridge between developers and graphic designers, PaintCode is a vector drawing app that instantly generates Objective-C, Swift or C# drawing code.

With PaintCode you can create an app that is truly resolution-independent, using code (instead of large number of image assets) to draw a user interface.

• STYLEKIT (new)
Change the design of your app in seconds. With StyleKits, integration of the generated code into your app is extremely easy. StyleKit is a special Objective-C, Swift or C# class that contains all your drawings, colors, gradients, shadows and other assets. StyleKit can be exported from PaintCode with just a single click, making the design-tweaking process crazy fast.

• VARIABLES & EXPRESSIONS (new)
Want to draw a button with multiple states? Circular progress bar? Animated robotic arm? Never-before-seen user interface control? Creating these complex dynamic drawings is usually extremely time-consuming. Not now. PaintCode’s Variables & Expressions let you create dynamic, parametric drawings with immediate visual feedback.

• SMART SYMBOLS (new)
Draw something on one canvas, then reuse it on other canvases as a Symbol. When you adjust the original canvas, the changes are automatically propagated to all Symbols. PaintCode has the best support for Symbols of any app on the Mac. Using Frames, Variables and Expressions, you can make your Symbols resizable and parametric. This is a very powerful feature for UI prototyping.

• DYNAMIC COLORS
Reuse the same color multiple times across your document. Derive a new color from an existing color, forming a permanent relationship. Changing the base color will also change all the derived colors. This unique feature means you can base the entire color scheme of your app on a single color, which you can easily readjust when you like.

• DYNAMIC SHAPES
Define how your complex drawings behave when resized. Draw a resizable button and retrieve drawing code to draw the button to any size.

• PSD, PDF, AI, EPS & SVG IMPORT
Import documents from other drawing apps into PaintCode, transforming them into Objective-C, Swift or C# drawing code.



• FEATURE LIST

Amazing Tools, Fast updates

Two days after swift release, update is live! Thank you PixelCut for your loyalty to your product. Looking forward to more font attribute options in the future, but certainly not a deal-breaker. Original review: If you’re a developer, this tool is the ultimate for "woo-ing” clients and end users. The custom views and controls that this produces are amazing. Custom color schemes that can be easily changed, dynamic views, SVG import, and more. There is also a limited expression set you can tie into the code that is produced. 10/10.

Manque quelques fonctions utiles

Je souhaite créer une application à l’aide de SpriteKit et je me retrouve obligé de modifier le code généré avant de l’insérer dans mon code. Le top pour moi serais la génération d’une fonction retournant un SKShapeNode correspondant au dessin. En dehors de ça l’application est de bonne qualité.

Génial

Très bonne application qui permet d’économiser des longues heures de code. Le code généré est propre et efficace (pas vu encore en Swift, mais testé en Objective-C, Très bien)

Complex UI elements made simple

The title says it all! Writing drawing code isn’t easy and certainly not a very rewarding job, as it can take hours before you have a decent result. Thanks to PaintCode, I don’t have to manually write drawing code anymore. It alows me to quickly turn a design into code and integrate it into my Cocoa project, so I have more time focusing on the acutal business processes I have to model. The features that have been added in version 2 are amazing. I don’t regret buying the update. Especially the advanced dynamic features make creating dynamic UI elements even easier!

Super-Awesome!

If youre a developer writing anything but a Console-only application this app belongs in your tool kit. Period.

Recommended

One of the greates tools a developer can use. I use PaintCode for iPad-Apps and it really is amazing. Not only for designing views but for creating concepts like graphs or charts. I taught me a lot so from my part a „must have“ tool.

This puts AppDesigning on a whole new level!

…At least for me, this App puts App-Designing on a new level. Easy to use, useful integration of vectorgraphics and Photoshop graphics and the ‚Variables & Expressions‘ Sections is great! Thanks to the developers for this App!
