MKPinAnnotationView: Are there more than three colors available?

Question

According to the Apple docs, MKPinAnnotationView's pin color is available in red, green and purple. Is there any way to get other colors also? I've found nothing in the docs.

Answer 1

some more ;)

And the original ones :

And the code:

- (MKAnnotationView*)mapView:(MKMapView*)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation { MKPinAnnotationView* anView =[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:@"test"]; anView.pinColor=MKPinAnnotationColorPurple; UIImage* image = nil; // 2.0 is for retina. Use 3.0 for iPhone6+, 1.0 for "classic" res. UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(anView.frame.size, NO, 2.0); [anView.layer renderInContext: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()]; image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); NSData* imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image); NSString* targetPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", [self writablePath], @"thisismypin.png" ]; [imgData writeToFile:targetPath atomically:YES];  return anView; }  -(NSString*) writablePath { NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; return documentsDirectory; }

You might find the following images useful:

and the code to use them in viewForAnnotation:

- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation {        // ... get the annotation delegate and allocate the MKAnnotationView (annView)     if ([annotationDelegate.type localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:@"NeedsBluePin"] == NSOrderedSame)     {         UIImage * image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"blue_pin.png"];         UIImageView *imageView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image] autorelease];         [annView addSubview:imageView];     }     // ...
