Quartz 2D Layers

I want to create 2 separate layers using quartz 2D. Can i handle there redraw methods separately? so that i can redraw 1 layer without redr开发者_如何学JAVAawing the whole screen or other layers.

Is it possible? any code sample?

Yes, it's possible and easy to do. Use the QuartzViewController/QuartzView classes in Apple's QuartzDemo iPhone sample code to get started. Use subclasses if you want specialized behavior.

I'm coming from the Mac world. On the Mac, you'd create two overlapping views and deal with it that way. On the iPhone, I suspect you do the same: create two UIViews and then handle the two redraw methods independently. I believe overlapping views are fine on the iPhone (just as they are now on the Mac since 10.5).
