How to draw line with in a image not whole UIImageView?

Add this code to your touch handing view.

override func pointInside(point: CGPoint, withEvent event: UIEvent?) -> Bool { return CGRectContainsPoint(doggyImage.frame, point) } 

Code provided in the first comment if (!CGRectContainsPoint(doggyImage.frame, touchPoint)) is some condition that you can use to check whether the touch point is in one specific view, where I think you should use to compare with your dog image (I don't know which variable it is, so I used doggyImage. Maybe self.imgColor is the correct one or not).

And for simplest solution, you need to do at least two things

• If touchesBegan outside the doggyImage, don't do anything, just return.
• Prevent lines been draw from inside to outside, so use the same condition, and apply the same code you used in touchesEnd to handle something like stopDrawLine.

More advanced method would include computing the nearest point from the touch to the image if it's outside, and draw it on the edge.

BTW, currently in your touchesMoved, you created one new UIBezierPath every single touch point, resulting in hundreds of discrete small pieces of line. You may want to try to new a path when touchesBegan and addLineToPoint in touchesMoved. So that the whole line is in one path, and you can therefore offer freatures like "undo".

take one CGRect object Globally assign its value as follow

 CGRect imagerect = CGRectMake(imgColor.center.x - (imgColor.image.size.width/2 + imgColor.frame.origin.x), imgColor.center.y - (imgColor.image.size.height/2+ imgColor.frame.origin.y), imgColor.image.size.width, imgColor.image.size.height); 

now in touchesMoved method put one condition before drawing if( CGRectContainsPoint(imagerect, touchPoint))

so the method will be like

-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet<UITouch *> *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { UITouch *touch = [[event allTouches] anyObject]; touchPoint = [touch locationInView:self.imgColor]; if( CGRectContainsPoint(imagerect, touchPoint)) { UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath]; [path moveToPoint:CGPointMake(touchPoint.x,touchPoint.y)]; [path addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(startingPoint.x,startingPoint.y)]; startingPoint=touchPoint; CAShapeLayer *shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer]; shapeLayer.path = [path CGPath]; shapeLayer.strokeColor = [[UIColor blueColor] CGColor]; shapeLayer.lineWidth = 3.0; shapeLayer.fillColor = [[UIColor redColor] CGColor]; [self.imgColor.layer addSublayer:shapeLayer]; [arrLayer addObject:shapeLayer]; NSLog(@"Touch moving point =x : %f Touch moving point =y : %f", touchPoint.x, touchPoint.y); } } 

Might be this is not perfect solution but i try to make same as your requirements. please try with this
