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 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 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.

• MULTI-CANVAS, TABBED WORKSPACE (new)
Use multiple drawing canvases in multiple tabs. Each canvas turns into a drawing method in the generated StyleKit code.

• BETTER TOOLS (new)
Enjoy rotation and scaling with user-defined origin, powerful bezier editing tools, smart and custom guides, precise boolean operations, mass export & import, hierarchical color library, vertical text alignment, better text editing, improved zoom tool, outline mode and many more features.

• 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 & SVG IMPORT
Import SVG documents into PaintCode, transforming them into Objective-C or C# drawing code. Layer graphics, paths, texts and groups from Adobe Photoshop™ documents can also be imported.
