Drawing Code for iOS 7 Rounded Rectangles (paintcodeapp.com)

The new iOS icon shape seems to imitate ubuntu phone (http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/app-ecosystem).

The PaintCode team continue to impress... Great app! Really helped me to generate the drawing code for my custom, dynamic UIViews.

So it's more like the squircle[1] shape used by Nokia in their Symbian and Meego phones.

What would i use this for?

As a non-designer techie I'm always amazed when I see articles showing the subtle differences in the new iOS or OSX.

I usually don't consciously perceive the subtlety, so seeing these detailed articles helps me appreciate the effort that went into the design.

I've collected few rounded square (squircles :)) codes using cairo (through luajit):

and two more here (but I forgot to put the links where I got the code from, and I don't recall being my original code):
