Animation component for the effect of flipping as in a news/clock ticker, or a page turn.

Structured around the idea of a data object (i.e. headline in news, number in a clock, page in a book) as an animation frame, comprised of multiple CALayers.

Supports 3 interaction modes:

• Triggered: as in a tap to flip
  
• Auto: as in a revolving flip that loops through data
  
• Controlled: as in a pan gesture that moves the flip layer according to touch
  

Supports different types of content:

• Blank, with background color
  
• With image, whether from file or screenshot
  
• With dynamic text, either composited on background or on image
  

Basic Usage

1. Create delegate object -
   AnimationDelegate *animationDelegate = [[AnimationDelegate alloc] initWithSequenceType: directionType:];

2. Create flip view (either vertical or horizontal flip animation type) and assign it to animation delegate -
   FlipView *flipView = [[FlipView alloc] initWithAnimationType: animationDelegate: frame:];
animationDelegate.transformView = flipView;

3. Add flip view as subview and customize properties (refer below for configurable list)

4. Call [flipView printText: usingImage: backgroundColor: textColor:] to draw each frame (minimum of 2)

5. Call [animationDelegate startAnimation:] to start the animation. For using buttons or pan gesture, look at the animation controller example

Note: To remove jagged edges during flipping, set Renders with edge antialiasing in the project plist to YES. This may decrease performance.

Configurable Properties

Animation Delegate

• repeatDelay: Length of time to the next flip after the current flip completes (only for auto interaction mode)
• shadow: Whether or not to display shadow
• repeat: Whether or not to loop through animation frames (only for auto interaction mode)
• sensitivity: Positive modifier for input to animation response. Higher the sensitivity, greater the response. (only for controlled interaction mode)
• gravity: Positive modifier for speed of movement to nearest resting state after input is removed. Higher the gravity, faster the speed. (only for controlled interaction mode)
• perspectiveDepth: Positive value for adjusting the perspective. Lower the value, greater the illusion of depth.
• nextDuration: duration of the next flip animation

FlipView

• textInset: inset of text relative to the flip view, like border margin
• textOffset: positioning of text relative to top left of the flip view
• fontSize: font size
• font: font string, can be custom or inbuilt, defaults to Helvetica
• fontAlignment: left, center or right alignment
• textTruncationMode: none, start, middle or end truncation
• sublayerCornerRadius: corner radius to apply to each sub panel of the flip view
