iOS - squish an image vertically - ios

I have a round image that I want to "squish" vertically so that it looks more like a horizontal line, then expand it back to the original shape. I thought this would work by setting the layer's anchor point to the center and then animating the frame via UIViewAnimation with the height of the frame = 1.
[self.imageToSquish.layer setAnchorPoint:CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5)];
CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(self.imageToSquish.frame.origin.x, self.imageToSquish.frame.origin.y, self.imageToSquish.frame.size.width, 1 );
[UIView animateWithDuration:3
animations:^{self.imageToSquish.frame = newFrame;}
completion:nil];
But the image shrinks toward the top instead of around the center.

You’re giving it a frame that has its origin—at the top left—in the same position as it started. You probably want to do something more like this, adding half the image’s height:
CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(self.imageToSquish.frame.origin.x, self.imageToSquish.frame.origin.y + self.imageToSquish.frame.size.height / 2, self.imageToSquish.frame.size.width, 1);
Alternatively—and more efficiently—you could set the image view’s transform property to, say, CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1, 0.01) instead of messing with its frame. That’ll be centered on the middle of the image, and you can easily undo it by setting the transform to CGAffineTransformIdentity.

Resizable UIView

I am building a custom UIView that you can rotate and resize. I can resize the UIView by dragging the corners of the UIView. I calculate how much I have dragged then change the frame of the UIView accordingly.
However, I am running into problems once I added a rotation gesture recognizer to the view. If I rotate or apply a transform to the view, I no longer know how to calculate drag distance and change the frame of the view. How could I calculate the width and height change between my new view and the original view when things are put at an added angle or if they have some other transform, like a translation transform?
I thought of possibilities to set the view's transform back to .identity, change the size of the view, then re-apply its transform, but I'm not sure how to actually go about implementing this.
After applying transform you can not use frame
You have two options
1) First Calculate everything using center of your view
2) As you know apply identity and change frame
for point 2 I have added example that might helpful to you
let transform = imageView.transform
imageView.transform = CGAffineTransform.identity
var rect: CGRect = imageView.frame
rect = // Change Rect here
imageView.frame = rect // Assign it
imageView.transform = transform // Apply Transform

Resizing a UIView but drawing done by drawRect also changing size

I am testing a UIView using a UISlider as in the example images below:
I have a custom UIView with a yellow background that draws the gray square, the drawRect method is like so:
-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect{
NSLog(#"Draw rect called");
UIBezierPath* squarePath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect: CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 100)];
[UIColor.grayColor setFill];
[squarePath fill];
}
And the method for my slide changing value:
- (IBAction)changeValue:(id)sender {
CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, self.slider.value, self.slider.value);
self.tableView.transform = transform;
[self.tableView setNeedsDisplay];
}
I dont understand why the square is getting larger. I've noticed that drawRect is called every time the slider is moved. If this happens then why is the square size changing? Shouldn't it remain the same size and just the frame grow with the square in the top left corner?
My second question is, how would I change the code so just the frame grows and the drawing size stays the same? I ask this because actually I want the drawing size to change dynamically using my own code in drawRect.
Any pointers would be really appreciated! thanks!
The reason why the size of the square changes is because you've transformed it. Transformations don't just affect the frame of a view; they will affect the content. The square is getting drawn into its context at its constant size (100x100) and then the transform is stretching it before it gets rendered.
The reason why it's not expanding to the right and down is because by default the anchor point of a transform is the center of the bounds. Thus it'll scale from the center outwards. From the documentation:
The origin of the transform is the value of the center property ...
Transformations aren't intended to be used to simply scale the width and height of your frame. The frame property is for that. Simply store the view's frame in a variable, change its width and height, then set it back. In your drawRect: code you can check the dimensions of the rectangle that's given to you and make your square's width/height a percentage of that.

Content Offset animation broken

I have an animation which is kicked off when a gesture recogniser (double tap) fires:
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
_scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(x, y);
_scrollViewContentView.frame = someFrame;
_scrollViewContentView.layer.transform =
CATransform3DMakeScale(1.f/_zoomScale, 1.f/_zoomScale, 1.f);
}];
It's working nice except in one case : if scrollViewWillBeginDecelerating delegate method is not called before animation execution (just by dragging hardly my scrollview).
I just have scrollViewDidEndDragging method called.I can wait 20 sec and then play my animation. It'll play correctly except for my contentOffset.
The delegate methods themselves do nothing, they were only added to see where the problem might be.
I have no idea why.
Edit : here's a video of my problem. Phase 1 : scroll with deceleration and phase 2 without. Look a the final position. Phase 1 is correct but not phase
try:
[_scrollView setContentOffSet:CGPointMake(x, y) animated:YES];
outside of the animation block. I don't believe contentOffSet is animatable through UIView's animation block.
Edit:
Instead of:
_scrollview.contentOffSet = CGPointMake(x, y);
try:
_scrollview.bounds = CGRectMake(x, y, CGRectGetWidth(scrollview.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(scrollview.bounds));
I suspect that x in this line may be causing the effect that you see:
_scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(x, y);
What's it's value? I think you should try replacing that by CGPointMake(0, y) and see if that causes the white margin to appear every time.
My reasoning is the following:
1) to create bouncing effect that doesn't go outside the scope of the image (doesn't show white background), you must have set _scrollView's contentSize.width less than the actual image size.
2) to allow some scrolling you have set the contentSize.width greater than the width of the _scrollView
3) you have centered the image within the _scrollView relatively to the size of it's contentSize
4) when animating you are probably setting frame with pre-calculated x coordinate to position the image on the left size because without that CATransform3DMakeScale would just leave the image in the center (by the way, why use CATransform3DMakeScale, when you could just change the size in the frame?)
5) in the video, when running the animation the first time, you have contentOffset.x to it's maximum value (because you drag to the left therefore increasing the content offset and scrollview bounces back to it's max content offset that doesn't go beyond content size limits)
6) in the video when running the animation for the second time, you have contentOffset.x with a smaller value because you drag to the right by decreasing it
7) when animation is finished, you still have the same content size for your scrollView and therefore the same amount of scroll available. If you have the contentOffset.x at it's maximum value then image will be more on the left, if you have contentOffset.x with less value - image will be more on the right
8) if the x in _scrollView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(x, y); is related to actual content offset prior to animation then that makes sense that the image appears more on the left in the first case and more on the right in the second case.
If I'm right then this is how you could solve it:
a) If you want the image always to appear on specific x position, make sure to set constant contentOffset in the animation.
b) Adjust the code of calculating frame (someFrame) origin according to the contentOffset that you'll be animating to (looks like now it works only with the maximum contentOffset.x).
c) If after animation you don't want the content to be scrollable, make sure to set _scrollView.contentSize = _scrollview.bounds.size; in the animation block.
I'm not sure I completely understand your problem (Maybe you can try to explain what you want to accomplish in this animation?). Any way, maybe try this instead of using setContentOffset:
CGRect *rect = CGRectMake(x, y, 0, 0);
[_scrollView scrollRectToVisible:rect animated:YES];
Perhaps try using core animation rather than UIView animations. It won't make a difference if the reason you're running into trouble is because all animations are being removed from the layer, but if it's due to -[removeAnimationForKey:#"bounds"], this might be a winner.
CABasicAnimation *animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"bounds"];
animation.fromValue = [NSValue valueWithCGRect:_scrollView.layer.bounds];
animation.toValue = [NSValue valueWithCGRect:(CGRect){ .origin = CGPointMake(x,y), .size = scrollView.layer.bounds.size }];
[scrollView.layer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"myCustomScroll"];
scrollView.layer.bounds = (CGRect){ .origin = CGPointMake(x,y), .size = scrollView.layer.bounds.size };
P.S. I haven't tested the code above it's just off my head, so apologies for any silly errors.

How to compose Core Animation CATransform3D matrices to animate simultaneous translation and scaling

I want to simultaneously scale and translate a CALayer from one CGrect (a small one, from a button) to a another (a bigger, centered one, for a view). Basically, the idea is that the user touches a button and from the button, a CALayer reveals and translates and scales up to end up centered on the screen. Then the CALayer (through another button) shrinks back to the position and size of the button.
I'm animating this through CATransform3D matrices. But the CALayer is actually the backing layer for a UIView (because I also need Responder functionality). And while applying my scale or translation transforms separately works fine. The concatenation of both (translation, followed by scaling) offsets the layer's position so that it doesn't align with the button when it shrinks.
My guess is that this is because the CALayer anchor point is in its center by default. The transform applies translation first, moving the 'big' CALayer to align with the button at the upper left corner of their frames. Then, when scaling takes place, since the CALayer anchor point is in the center, all directions scale down towards it. At this point, my layer is the button's size (what I want), but the position is offset (cause all points shrank towards the layer center).
Makes sense?
So I'm trying to figure out whether instead of concatenating translation + scale, I need to:
translate
change anchor point to upper-left.
scale.
Or, if I should be able to come up with some factor or constant to incorporate to the values of the translation matrix, so that it translates to a position offset by what the subsequent scaling will in turn offset, and then the final position would be right.
Any thoughts?
You should post your code. It is generally much easier for us to help you when we can look at your code.
Anyway, this works for me:
- (IBAction)showZoomView:(id)sender {
[UIView animateWithDuration:.5 animations:^{
self.zoomView.layer.transform = CATransform3DIdentity;
}];
}
- (IBAction)hideZoomView:(id)sender {
CGPoint buttonCenter = self.hideButton.center;
CGPoint zoomViewCenter = self.zoomView.center;
CATransform3D transform = CATransform3DIdentity;
transform = CATransform3DTranslate(transform, buttonCenter.x - zoomViewCenter.x, buttonCenter.y - zoomViewCenter.y, 0);
transform = CATransform3DScale(transform, .001, .001, 1);
[UIView animateWithDuration:.5 animations:^{
self.zoomView.layer.transform = transform;
}];
}
In my test case, self.hideButton and self.zoomView have the same superview.

iPad - How to move and resize a label

I'm trying to move and resize a label, but what happens is the label resizes immediately then moves into position. I first tried simply the commented out lbl.frame line. Next I found this question:
How to animate while resizing UIView
And added all the other code except for the contentMode. This did what I wanted, but the Label's font did not adjust downwards as the label shrunk. ( I tick adjust to fit in xib ). Finally adding the contentMode line gave me the same result as my original frame line - shrink immediately first them animate the move.
lbl.contentMode = UIViewContentModeRedraw;
[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 delay:0.0
options:(UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction)
animations:^{
//lbl.frame = CGRectMake(x, mStartingLine.frame.origin.y+mStartingLine.frame.size.height, 100, 100);
CGRect theBounds = lbl.bounds;
CGPoint theCenter = lbl.center;
theBounds.size.height = 100;
theBounds.size.width = 100;
theCenter.y = mStartingLine.frame.origin.y+mStartingLine.frame.size.height+50;
theCenter.x = x;
lbl.bounds = theBounds;
lbl.center = theCenter;
}
completion:nil
];
I suspect that the auto text resizing feature doesn't work with Core Animation.
What I would suggest doing is to set the label to it's final size (using it's bounds) then apply a transform to it that shrinks it back down to it's starting size. The end effect of those things is that it should stay at the same apparent size.
Finally, use animateWithDuration:animations: to set the view's transform back to the identity transform, so it grows to it's new size.
I don't know what drawing artifacts this will cause - you'll have to try it.
