Mac – PaintCode – New

Designing an attractive, resolution-independent user interface is hard, especially if you have to program your drawing code. PaintCode is a simple vector drawing app that instantly generates resolution-independent Objective-C drawing code for both OS X and iOS.

You no longer have to tweak and recompile your drawing code over and over again to achieve the desired result. With PaintCode, a graphic designer with no programming experience can draw beautiful controls, icons and other user interface elements, and the app automatically generates code that is equally beautiful.

This app is a true developers tool and the price reflects that it retails for $79.99/£54.99/download here

Use built-in vector shapes (rectangles, rounded rectangles, ovals, texts, beziers, stars and polygons) to draw stunning buttons, sliders, icons and other user interface elements. PaintCode makes sure that your drawings stay crisp and sharp by aligning them to pixel grid at just the right places. You can even add multi step gradients and shadows to make your interfaces more realistic.

Generates Code for OS X and iOS

You can choose between OS X or iOS code. PaintCode generates simple and straightforward Objective-C that uses Cocoa, Quartz and Core Graphics APIs. You can even move the origin around and generate a drawing code for flipped NSViews!
