I need to make a rectangular view [ ] appear as if it’s top is rotated back, while the bottom is pinned in place: / \ . The resulting image is isometric with the bottom being wider than the top.
Which CGAffineTransform do I need to accomplish this goal?
As others have pointed out, you can’t do this with a CGAffineTransform.
However, it’s relatively easy to do with a CATransform3D, as I describe in this answer. You’ll need to adjust the
m34component of the CATransform3D to give the transform some degree of perspective, rotate the view about the X axis, and potentially scale it so that the bottom edge remains at the same width as for your original unrotated view.Alternatively, you might be able to adjust the
anchorPointof your view’s underlying layer to be at the bottom, rather than the center. Rotations will then be applied from that edge, which should keep the bottom edge length constant and give you a receding perspective effect for the view. I believe a value of (0.5, 1.0) will set theanchorPointto the lower edge.
