What is the equivalent of UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext () for OS X?

Question

The name says it all.

I am trying to understand what is the equivalent of UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() for OS X.

Answer 1

[NSGraphicsContext currentContext].CGContext .

(The -CGContext property -CGContext available in 10.10 and later, in earlier versions you can use graphicsPort .)

Answer 2

For Swift: NSGraphicsContext.currentContext()?.CGContext

Answer 3

Just for completeness, in Swift 4 the syntax is:

 NSGraphicsContext.current?.cgContext
