Attributes

Remarks

The CIContext class is used to orchestrate the rendering of a pipeline of filters into one of the supported output surfaces.

The CGContext can render its results into a CoreGraphics CGImage, render directly into the screen with one of the various Draw methods, into a CoreVideo CVPixelBuffer or into a CoreGraphics context.
