Usage

Usage is pretty simple!

self.statusView = [[VerticallyScrollingStatusView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height / 2, self.view.frame.size.width, 100.0f)];
[self.view addSubview:self.statusView];

Or if you use PureLayout,

self.statusView = [VerticallyScrollingStatusView newAutoLayoutView];
[self.view addSubview:self.statusView];

[self.statusView autoCenterInSuperview];
[self.statusView autoMatchDimension:ALDimensionWidth toDimension:ALDimensionWidth ofView:self.view withOffset:-30.0f];
[self.statusView autoSetDimension:ALDimensionHeight toSize:100.0f];

And customize it!

[self.statusView setAnimationDuration:0.5f];
[self.statusView setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:18.0]];
[self.statusView setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[self.statusView setNumberOfLines:2];

Requirements

The only requirement is PureLayout. However, if you're installing through CocoaPods, you don't have to worrk about that.

Installation

VerticallyScrollingStatusView is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
