Origami transition using CATransform3D perspective - iphone

I'm trying to achieve a kind of origami transition on two UIView using only layer capabilities. The idea is to fold two views with a perspective effect. Both views have a perspective, the transition is defined by a rotation on each view, as well as a translation on one view such that this view seems to be attached to the other one.
The issue is that the view overlaps one another in the middle of the transition. I don't want to use a zPosition to visually avoid this overlapping, I really want these two views to act as if they were bound together by their shared side. Here is the code for the transition.
Any idea, or any other solution?
- (void)animateWithPerspective
{
CGFloat rotationAngle = 90;
CATransform3D transform = CATransform3DIdentity;
UIView *topView;
UIView *bottomView;
UIView *mainView;
CGRect frame;
CGFloat size = 200;
mainView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,10, size, size*2)];
[self.view addSubview:mainView];
bottomView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
bottomView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 1);
bottomView.frame = CGRectMake(0, size, size, size);
bottomView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[mainView addSubview:bottomView];
topView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
topView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0);
topView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, size, size);
topView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[mainView addSubview:topView];
transform.m34 = 1.0/700.0;
topView.layer.transform = transform;
bottomView.layer.transform = transform;
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatAutoreverses:YES];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:INFINITY];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveLinear];
frame = bottomView.frame;
frame.origin.y = bottomView.frame.origin.y - bottomView.frame.size.height - topView.frame.size.height;
bottomView.frame = frame;
topView.layer.transform = CATransform3DRotate(transform, rotationAngle * M_PI/180, 1, 0, 0);
bottomView.layer.transform = CATransform3DRotate(transform, -rotationAngle * M_PI/180, 1, 0, 0);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self animate];
}
To simplify the problem, let's get rid of any perspective transform. Here is a simpler code with the same kind of issue:
- (void)animateWithoutPerspective
{
CGFloat rotationAngle = 90;
UIView *topView;
UIView *bottomView;
UIView *mainView;
CGRect frame;
CGFloat size = 200;
mainView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,10, size, size*2)];
[self.view addSubview:mainView];
bottomView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, size, size, size)];
bottomView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[mainView addSubview:bottomView];
topView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
topView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0);
topView.frame = CGRectMake(10, 0, size-20, size);
topView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[mainView addSubview:topView];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:2];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatAutoreverses:YES];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatCount:INFINITY];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveLinear];
frame = bottomView.frame;
frame.origin.y = bottomView.frame.origin.y - bottomView.frame.size.height;
bottomView.frame = frame;
topView.layer.transform = CATransform3DMakeRotation(rotationAngle * M_PI/180, 1, 0, 0);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}

Finally, here is some solution for a three-sleeves animation with simple shadows added. The key to solve this kind of animation is to use several well organized sublayers and also some CATransformLayer.

At first I though that the linear transformation of the Y position would not imply a linear transformation of the rotation, but it seems that it is the case.
The error is very simple, the perspective value is wrong, the perspective is modeled by positioning an observatory on the Z axis at a negative distance. then you need to negate the perspective value :
transform.m34 = 1.0/(-700.0);
And it does work like expected.
Just for the record, the transformation is not linear for the angles. but the artifact are hidden by the zbuffer.
At mid path the angle would be 60 degree but with the linear animation we get 45 degree. But looking from the right side, from negative Z axis position, the buffer hide the planes intersection.

To illustrate the answers.
I did not put all the animations and the perspective projection (the perspectiveLayer.sublayerTransform on its CATransformLayer subLayers). Play with the projection matrix m34 field value to see how it affects the vanishing point.

NSView not rotating around center

I'm trying to rotate a NSView around its center. But even if I change the anchorPoint, the NSView continue to rotate around its top left corner. Just a precision : I'm working on OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Here is my code :
// myView.m
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)rect
{
if(self = [super initWithFrame:(NSRect)rect])
{
self.frame = rect;
[self setWantsLayer:YES];
self.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor whiteColor].CGColor;
self.layer.borderColor = [NSColor grayColor].CGColor;
self.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
NSView *aView = [[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 50, 50)];
[aView setWantsLayer:YES];
aView.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor redColor].CGColor;
aView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
[self addSubview:aView];
CABasicAnimation *rotateAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation"];
rotateAnimation.byValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2*M_PI];
rotateAnimation.duration = 4;
rotateAnimation.repeatCount = INFINITY;
[aView.layer addAnimation:rotateAnimation forKey:#"rotationAnimation"];
}
}
EDITED 30-11-2018 : I managed to get the centered rotation using the layers :
// myView.m
- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect)rect
{
if(self = [super initWithFrame:(NSRect)rect])
{
self.frame = rect;
[self setWantsLayer:YES];
self.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor whiteColor].CGColor;
self.layer.borderColor = [NSColor grayColor].CGColor;
self.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
NSView *aView = [[NSView alloc] init];
[aView setWantsLayer:YES];
aView.layer.backgroundColor = [NSColor redColor].CGColor;
aView.layer.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50);
aView.layer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50);
aView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
aView.layer.position = CGPointMake(0, 0);
[self.layer addSublayer:aView.layer];
CABasicAnimation *rotateAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation"];
rotateAnimation.byValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2*M_PI];
rotateAnimation.duration = 4;
rotateAnimation.repeatCount = INFINITY;
[aView.layer addAnimation:rotateAnimation forKey:#"rotationAnimation"];
}
}
If you want to rotate a view you can do:
-(void)rotateByCenter:(NSView*)aView {
[aView setWantsLayer:YES];
aView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
aView.layer.position = CGPointMake(aView.frame.origin.x + aView.frame.size.width/2.,aView.frame.origin.y + aView.frame.size.height/2.) ;
CABasicAnimation *rotateAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation"];
rotateAnimation.byValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:2*M_PI];
rotateAnimation.duration = 20;
rotateAnimation.repeatCount = INFINITY;
[aView.layer addAnimation:rotateAnimation forKey:#"rotationAnimation"]; }

CAShapeLayer and animation position issue

I am making an iPhone app that draws a circle on the screen. I use a timer (every 5 second), so that I can 'grow' the circle, then wait 5 seconds then grow again. Now I am having trouble when animating the increase in size of the circle (I use paths and a CAShapeLayer layer). The size (from and to) are fine with the animation, its just when it starts the circle moves to the upper left hand side and grows from there. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks
The class where this is implemented is a UIControl, which is added to a UIView.
//Called in init method
(void) initalPop {
//Circle
self.bubble = [CAShapeLayer layer];
self.bubble.bounds = self.bounds;
self.bubble.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.bounds));
self.bubble.fillColor = [
[UIColor greenColor] CGColor
];
self.bubble.strokeColor = [
[UIColor greenColor] CGColor
];
self.bubble.lineWidth = 4.0;
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddEllipseInRect(path, nil, self.bounds);
self.bubble.path = path;
[self.layer addSublayer: self.bubble];
}
//Called when timer goes off
- (void) StageGrow {
CGFloat growSize = 50.0;
//Change the size of us and center the circle (but dont want to animate this
[CATransaction begin];
[CATransaction setValue: (id) kCFBooleanTrue forKey: kCATransactionDisableActions];
self.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.bounds.size.width + growSize, self.bounds.size.height + growSize);
self.bubble.position = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.bounds), CGRectGetMidY(self.bounds));
[CATransaction commit];
[self ActualGrowCircle];
} - (void) ActualGrowCircle {
CGMutablePathRef oldPath = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddEllipseInRect(oldPath, nil, self.bubble.bounds);
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddEllipseInRect(path, nil, self.bounds);
CABasicAnimation * animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath: #"path"];
animation.duration = 2.0;
animation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
animation.repeatCount = 1;
animation.delegate = self;
animation.autoreverses = NO;
animation.fromValue = (__bridge id) oldPath;
animation.toValue = (__bridge id) path;
self.bubble.bounds = self.bounds;
self.bubble.path = path;
[self.bubble addAnimation: animation forKey: #"animatePath"];
}
Let's say you're growing the bubble from size (100, 100) to size (150, 150).
You create oldPath as an ellipse in the rectangle (0, 0, 100, 100).
You create path as an ellipse in the rectangle (0, 0, 150, 150).
You set the bounds of the bubble layer to (0, 0, 150, 150), and you don't animate this change.
That means that oldPath will appear aligned to the top and left edges of the bubble layer.
One way to fix this is to create oldPath in a rectangle that is centered in the bubble's new bounds:
CGRect oldBubbleRect = CGRectInset(self.bounds, growSize / 2, growSize / 2);
CGPathRef oldPath = CGPathCreateWithEllipseInRect(oldBubbleRect, NULL);
By the way, you are leaking the paths you're creating. You need to call CGPathRelease on them after you're done with them.
Worked it out. In the long run I grouped the animations together and all became good (see code below). Thanks for your help Rob.
-(void)ActualGrowCircle {
CGMutablePathRef newPath = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddEllipseInRect(newPath, nil, self.bounds);
CABasicAnimation *animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"path"];
animation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
animation.repeatCount = 1;
animation.autoreverses = NO;
animation.fromValue = (__bridge id)self.bubble.path;
animation.toValue = (__bridge id)newPath;
CABasicAnimation *animation2 = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"bounds"];
animation2.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
animation2.repeatCount = 1;
animation2.autoreverses = NO;
animation2.fromValue = [NSValue valueWithCGRect:self.bubble.bounds];
animation2.toValue = [NSValue valueWithCGRect:self.bounds];
CAAnimationGroup *group = [CAAnimationGroup animation];
[group setAnimations:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: animation2, animation, nil]];
group.duration = 0.5;
group.delegate = self;
self.bubble.bounds = self.bounds;
self.bubble.path = newPath;
[self.bubble addAnimation:group forKey:#"animateGroup"];

iOS Paper fold (origami / accordion) effect animation, with manual control

I'm looking for tips on how to implement the popular 'paper folding / origami' effect in my iOS project.
I'm aware of projects such as:
https://github.com/xyfeng/XYOrigami
but they only offer the 'animated' effect, with no manual control over the opening animation.
I've struggled to dissect that project and come up with what I'm after.
To be more exact, I'm looking on how to implement the effect shown here: http://vimeo.com/41495357 where the folding animation is not simply animated open, but the user controls the opening folds.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Okay, here's some example code to better illustrate what I'm struggling with:
This method triggers the origami effect animation:
- (void)showOrigamiTransitionWith:(UIView *)view
NumberOfFolds:(NSInteger)folds
Duration:(CGFloat)duration
Direction:(XYOrigamiDirection)direction
completion:(void (^)(BOOL finished))completion
{
if (XY_Origami_Current_State != XYOrigamiTransitionStateIdle) {
return;
}
XY_Origami_Current_State = XYOrigamiTransitionStateUpdate;
//add view as parent subview
if (![view superview]) {
[[self superview] insertSubview:view belowSubview:self];
}
//set frame
CGRect selfFrame = self.frame;
CGPoint anchorPoint;
if (direction == XYOrigamiDirectionFromRight) {
selfFrame.origin.x = self.frame.origin.x - view.bounds.size.width;
view.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x+self.frame.size.width-view.frame.size.width, self.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height);
anchorPoint = CGPointMake(1, 0.5);
}
else {
selfFrame.origin.x = self.frame.origin.x + view.bounds.size.width;
view.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x, self.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height);
anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0.5);
}
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(view.frame.size);
[view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewSnapShot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
//set 3D depth
CATransform3D transform = CATransform3DIdentity;
transform.m34 = -1.0/800.0;
CALayer *origamiLayer = [CALayer layer];
origamiLayer.frame = view.bounds;
origamiLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.2 alpha:1].CGColor;
origamiLayer.sublayerTransform = transform;
[view.layer addSublayer:origamiLayer];
//setup rotation angle
double startAngle;
CGFloat frameWidth = view.bounds.size.width;
CGFloat frameHeight = view.bounds.size.height;
CGFloat foldWidth = frameWidth/(folds*2);
CALayer *prevLayer = origamiLayer;
for (int b=0; b < folds*2; b++) {
CGRect imageFrame;
if (direction == XYOrigamiDirectionFromRight) {
if(b == 0)
startAngle = -M_PI_2;
else {
if (b%2)
startAngle = M_PI;
else
startAngle = -M_PI;
}
imageFrame = CGRectMake(frameWidth-(b+1)*foldWidth, 0, foldWidth, frameHeight);
}
else {
if(b == 0)
startAngle = M_PI_2;
else {
if (b%2)
startAngle = -M_PI;
else
startAngle = M_PI;
}
imageFrame = CGRectMake(b*foldWidth, 0, foldWidth, frameHeight);
}
CATransformLayer *transLayer = [self transformLayerFromImage:viewSnapShot Frame:imageFrame Duration:duration AnchorPiont:anchorPoint StartAngle:startAngle EndAngle:0];
[prevLayer addSublayer:transLayer];
prevLayer = transLayer;
}
[CATransaction begin];
[CATransaction setCompletionBlock:^{
self.frame = selfFrame;
[origamiLayer removeFromSuperlayer];
XY_Origami_Current_State = XYOrigamiTransitionStateShow;
if (completion)
completion(YES);
}];
[CATransaction setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:duration] forKey:kCATransactionAnimationDuration];
CAAnimation *openAnimation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"position.x" function:openFunction fromValue:self.frame.origin.x+self.frame.size.width/2 toValue:selfFrame.origin.x+self.frame.size.width/2];
openAnimation.fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards;
[openAnimation setRemovedOnCompletion:NO];
[self.layer addAnimation:openAnimation forKey:#"position"];
[CATransaction commit];
}
The method grabs a CATransform Layer from this method:
- (CATransformLayer *)transformLayerFromImage:(UIImage *)image Frame:(CGRect)frame Duration:(CGFloat)duration AnchorPiont:(CGPoint)anchorPoint StartAngle:(double)start EndAngle:(double)end;
{
CATransformLayer *jointLayer = [CATransformLayer layer];
jointLayer.anchorPoint = anchorPoint;
CGFloat layerWidth;
if (anchorPoint.x == 0) //from left to right
{
layerWidth = image.size.width - frame.origin.x;
jointLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, layerWidth, frame.size.height);
if (frame.origin.x) {
jointLayer.position = CGPointMake(frame.size.width, frame.size.height/2);
}
else {
jointLayer.position = CGPointMake(0, frame.size.height/2);
}
}
else
{ //from right to left
layerWidth = frame.origin.x + frame.size.width;
jointLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, layerWidth, frame.size.height);
jointLayer.position = CGPointMake(layerWidth, frame.size.height/2);
}
//map image onto transform layer
CALayer *imageLayer = [CALayer layer];
imageLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.size.width, frame.size.height);
imageLayer.anchorPoint = anchorPoint;
imageLayer.position = CGPointMake(layerWidth*anchorPoint.x, frame.size.height/2);
[jointLayer addSublayer:imageLayer];
CGImageRef imageCrop = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(image.CGImage, frame);
imageLayer.contents = (__bridge id)imageCrop;
imageLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
//add shadow
NSInteger index = frame.origin.x/frame.size.width;
double shadowAniOpacity;
CAGradientLayer *shadowLayer = [CAGradientLayer layer];
shadowLayer.frame = imageLayer.bounds;
shadowLayer.backgroundColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor].CGColor;
shadowLayer.opacity = 0.0;
shadowLayer.colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:(id)[UIColor blackColor].CGColor, (id)[UIColor clearColor].CGColor, nil];
if (index%2) {
shadowLayer.startPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0.5);
shadowLayer.endPoint = CGPointMake(1, 0.5);
shadowAniOpacity = (anchorPoint.x)?0.24:0.32;
}
else {
shadowLayer.startPoint = CGPointMake(1, 0.5);
shadowLayer.endPoint = CGPointMake(0, 0.5);
shadowAniOpacity = (anchorPoint.x)?0.32:0.24;
}
[imageLayer addSublayer:shadowLayer];
//animate open/close animation
CABasicAnimation* animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"transform.rotation.y"];
[animation setDuration:duration];
[animation setFromValue:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:start]];
[animation setToValue:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:end]];
[animation setRemovedOnCompletion:NO];
[jointLayer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"jointAnimation"];
//animate shadow opacity
animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"opacity"];
[animation setDuration:duration];
[animation setFromValue:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:(start)?shadowAniOpacity:0]];
[animation setToValue:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:(start)?0:shadowAniOpacity]];
[animation setRemovedOnCompletion:NO];
[shadowLayer addAnimation:animation forKey:nil];
return jointLayer;
}
Basically, I need to remove the automatic animation, and control the progress of the effect using some manually set value (e.g.: uislider value, or content offset).
Once again, any help provided is much appreciated!
I write another library for folding transition : https://github.com/geraldhuard/YFoldView
Hope it works for you.
Try this. You have drag control over the paper fold, left and right side.

This is the best solution I've seen:

EDIT: What about this: the paper folding/unfolding effect in twitter for iPad

How to draw line with animation in iPhone

I am drawing line in iphone using CGContextRef. Can any one suggest me how i draw line with animation in iphone.
Please suggest.
Here is the answer (found here : http://soulwithmobiletechnology.blogspot.fr/2012/07/how-to-animate-line-draw.html)
UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
[path moveToPoint:CGPointMake(50.0,0.0)];
[path addLineToPoint:CGPointMake(120.0, 600.0)];
CAShapeLayer *pathLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
pathLayer.frame = self.view.bounds;
pathLayer.path = path.CGPath;
pathLayer.strokeColor = [[UIColor redColor] CGColor];
pathLayer.fillColor = nil;
pathLayer.lineWidth = 2.0f;
pathLayer.lineJoin = kCALineJoinBevel;
[self.view.layer addSublayer:pathLayer];
CABasicAnimation *pathAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"strokeEnd"];
pathAnimation.duration = 2.0;
pathAnimation.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0f];
pathAnimation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0f];
[pathLayer addAnimation:pathAnimation forKey:#"strokeEnd"];
Do not forget to #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>.
Is it a straight line?.. You can use a 1 pixel wide UIView and animate its frame property. Using [UIView beginAnimations] and [UIView commitAnimations]; Otherwise, see this post.
Edited response
Using core animation, you can do something like this (e.g. behind a button)
CABasicAnimation *theAnimation = [self pathAnimation];
theAnimation.duration=3.0;
theAnimation.autoreverses=YES;
[[self layer] addAnimation:theAnimation forKey:#"animatePath"];
Path animation is defined as:
- (CAAnimation*)pathAnimation;
{
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(path,NULL,50.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,50.0,275.0,
150.0,275.0,
150.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,150.0,275.0,
250.0,275.0,
250.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,250.0,275.0,
350.0,275.0,
350.0,120.0);
CGPathAddCurveToPoint(path,NULL,350.0,275.0,
450.0,275.0,
450.0,120.0);
CAKeyframeAnimation *
animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation
animationWithKeyPath:#"position"];
[animation setPath:path];
[animation setDuration:3.0];
[animation setAutoreverses:YES];
CFRelease(path);
return animation;
}
This is only a pointer to what you can do with Core Animation. See this article for detail.
The Swift 3 version of Martin's answer (checked with Xcode 8.3.3)
let path = UIBezierPath()
path.move(to: CGPoint(x: 50, y: 0))
path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: 120, y: 600))
let pathLayer = CAShapeLayer()
pathLayer.frame = view.bounds
pathLayer.path = path.cgPath
pathLayer.strokeColor = UIColor.red.cgColor
pathLayer.fillColor = nil
pathLayer.lineWidth = 2
pathLayer.lineJoin = kCALineJoinBevel
view.layer.addSublayer(pathLayer)
let pathAnimation = CABasicAnimation(keyPath: "strokeEnd")
pathAnimation.duration = 2.0
pathAnimation.fromValue = 0
pathAnimation.toValue = 1
pathLayer.add(pathAnimation, forKey: "strokeEnd")

iPhone CALayer animation

I am drawing a line animation, connecting 2 points with a line. This is my code:
-(void) drawObject{
rootLayer = [CALayer layer];
rootLayer.frame = self.view.bounds;
[self.view.layer addSublayer:rootLayer];
lineStartPath = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(lineStartPath, nil, 160, 50);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(lineStartPath, nil, 160, 50);
CGPathCloseSubpath(lineStartPath);
lineEndPath = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathMoveToPoint(lineEndPath, nil, 160, 50);
CGPathAddLineToPoint(lineEndPath, nil, 160, 300);
CGPathCloseSubpath(lineEndPath);
shapeLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
shapeLayer.path = lineStartPath;
UIColor *strokeColor = [UIColor colorWithHue:0.557 saturation:0.55 brightness:0.96 alpha:1.0];
shapeLayer.strokeColor = strokeColor.CGColor;
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 3.0;
[rootLayer addSublayer:shapeLayer];
[self performSelector:#selector(startAnimation) withObject:nil afterDelay:1.0];
}
-(void) startAnimation{
CABasicAnimation *animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:#"path"];
animation.duration = 0.5;
animation.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionLinear];
animation.fromValue = (id)lineStartPath;
animation.toValue = (id)lineEndPath;
[shapeLayer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"animatePath"];
}
The weak point is after the animation is ended, the line disappears. I want that after my line is drawn between those 2 points, id does not disappear. Give me a hint please.
Try adding
shapeLayer.path = lineEndPath;
at the beginning of startAnimation.
It's explained in this video: Session 424 - Core Animation in Practice, Part 1 from the WWDC 2010 (around 38:00).
and replace [shapeLayer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"animatePath"]; with [shapeLayer addAnimation:animation forKey:#"path"];.
