Question

I have buttons laid out diagonally with their image frames as shown in the picture below. How can I alter the corner points so the buttons don’t significantly overlap?

I know I could just create a rectangular UIButton and rotate it, but I may eventually need custom-shaped buttons anyway. Also, my button images are essentially text with a transparent background, like shown.

Answer 1

There’s no built-in way of doing anything other than rectangles. In this case rotating it would work, but if you really want to get creative you can write your own class. You can use polygons or other shapes and then test the touch to see if it lies within the shape or not. Then you’ll have to handle all the image switching and target/action stuff.
