i don't understand the difference between the 2. i think i'm suppose to simply set the frame size in initWithFrame method, and set attributes (like background color, and clipping masks, etc.) in the drawRect method.
-initWithFrame: is one of the designated initailizers for a UIView (the other is -initWithCoder: for loading from a NIB). When - initWithFrame: completes, the view needs to be initialized to the point that it can do something useful.
-drawRect: is just for drawing. You should be doing as little as possible inside of -drawRect: and it should all be 100% related to drawing the content of your view. You may read from various properties, but you almost never set them.
