Rotate using a transform, then change frame origin, and view expands??
- by ZaBlanc
This is quite the iPhone quandry. I am working on a library, but have narrowed down my problem to very simple code. What this code does is create a 50x50 view, applies a rotation transform of a few degrees, then shifts the frame down a few times. The result is the 50x50 view is now much larger looking.
Here's the code:
// a simple 50x50 view
UIView *redThing = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(50, 50, 50, 50)];
redThing.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[self.view addSubview:redThing];
// rotate a small amount (as long as it's not 90 or 180, etc.)
redThing.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(redThing.transform, 0.1234);
// move the view down 2 pixels
CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(redThing.frame.origin.x, redThing.frame.origin.y + 2, redThing.frame.size.width, redThing.frame.size.height);
redThing.frame = newFrame;
// move the view down another 2 pixels
newFrame = CGRectMake(redThing.frame.origin.x, redThing.frame.origin.y + 2, redThing.frame.size.width, redThing.frame.size.height);
redThing.frame = newFrame;
// move the view down another 2 pixels
newFrame = CGRectMake(redThing.frame.origin.x, redThing.frame.origin.y + 2, redThing.frame.size.width, redThing.frame.size.height);
redThing.frame = newFrame;
// move the view down another 2 pixels
newFrame = CGRectMake(redThing.frame.origin.x, redThing.frame.origin.y + 2, redThing.frame.size.width, redThing.frame.size.height);
redThing.frame = newFrame;
So, what the heck is going on? Now, if I move the view by applying a translation transform, it works just fine. But that's not what I want to do and this should work anyway.
Any ideas?
