CoreAnimation 和 CoreGraphics

首先说一下 Graphic是是图形的意思。

对比一下头文件先

CoreAnimation.h

CoreGraphics.h

#endif    /* COREGRAPHICS_H_ */

仔细观察可以看出，CoreGraphics是底层绘制框架，我们实际会用到的也就是CG开头的一些底层绘制函数和变量，这是一个纯C语言框架。

QuartzCore也就是你说的包含了CoreAnimation的框架，是iOS系统的基本渲染框架，是一个OC语言框架，是一套基于CoreGraphics的OC语言封装，封装出了基本渲染类CALayer。
