I was trying to use iCarousel for one my solutions, I need to achieve something like the image below
It should be exactly the way
iCarouselOptionFadeMin
iCarouselOptionFadeMax
iCarouselOptionFadeRange
iCarouselOptionFadeMinAlpha
works using
- (CGFloat)carousel:(iCarousel *)carousel valueForOption:(iCarouselOption)option withDefault:(CGFloat)value
I tried to create a function exactly like
- (CGFloat)alphaForItemWithOffset:(CGFloat)offset
I discovered that it cane be done using offset
values, but things are not working me, can any one can help me achieving this?
Thanks.
You can do this via the iCarousel
's iCarouselTypeCustom
type in the delegate method
- (CATransform3D)carousel:(iCarousel *)carousel itemTransformForOffset:(CGFloat)offset baseTransform:(CATransform3D)transform
Just set the type of the carousel (e.g. in viewDidLoad
of the carousel's view controller):
self.carousel.type = iCarouselTypeCustom;
And calculate the transform as you like. I've laid the objects on a hyperbola, and shrink them in addition a bit as they move away from the center. That quite resembles your image, I think:
- (CATransform3D)carousel:(iCarousel *)carousel itemTransformForOffset:(CGFloat)offset baseTransform:(CATransform3D)transform
{
const CGFloat offsetFactor = [self carousel:carousel valueForOption:iCarouselOptionSpacing withDefault:1.0f]*carousel.itemWidth;
//The larger these values, as the items move away from the center ...
//... the faster they move to the back
const CGFloat zFactor = 150.0f;
//... the faster they move to the bottom of the screen
const CGFloat normalFactor = 50.0f;
//... the faster they shrink
const CGFloat shrinkFactor = 3.0f;
//hyperbola
CGFloat f = sqrtf(offset*offset+1)-1;
transform = CATransform3DTranslate(transform, offset*offsetFactor, f*normalFactor, f*(-zFactor));
transform = CATransform3DScale(transform, 1/(f/shrinkFactor+1.0f), 1/(f/shrinkFactor+1.0f), 1.0);
return transform;
}
and the result:
you can adjust the float constants to your liking.
For moving items around a circle while scaling them just use goniometric functions for translation, then rotate and scale:
- (CGFloat)carousel:(iCarousel *)carousel valueForOption:(iCarouselOption)option withDefault:(CGFloat)value
{
if (option == iCarouselOptionSpacing)
{
return value * 2.0f;
}
if(option == iCarouselOptionVisibleItems)
{
return 11;
}
if(option == iCarouselOptionWrap) return YES;
return value;
}
- (CATransform3D)carousel:(iCarousel *)carousel itemTransformForOffset:(CGFloat)offset baseTransform:(CATransform3D)transform
{
const CGFloat radius = [self carousel:carousel valueForOption:iCarouselOptionRadius withDefault:200.0];
const CGFloat offsetFactor = [self carousel:carousel valueForOption:iCarouselOptionSpacing withDefault:1.0f]*carousel.itemWidth;
const CGFloat angle = offset*offsetFactor/radius;
//... the faster they shrink
const CGFloat shrinkFactor = 2.0f;
//hyperbola (now only for shrinking purposes)
CGFloat f = sqrtf(offset*offset+1)-1;
transform = CATransform3DTranslate(transform, radius*sinf(angle), radius*(1-cosf(angle)), 0.0);
transform = CATransform3DRotate(transform, angle, 0, 0, 1);
transform = CATransform3DScale(transform, 1/(f*shrinkFactor+1.0f), 1/(f*shrinkFactor+1.0f), 1.0);
return transform;
}
and again, the result:
you can adjust the spacing and the radius in the carousel:valueForOption:withDefault:
method.
Enjoy! :)
A little modified and in SWIFT to copy paste ;) - works perfekt for me
func carousel(carousel: iCarousel, valueForOption option: iCarouselOption, withDefault value: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
if option == iCarouselOption.Spacing {
return value * 1.8
}
return value
}
func carousel(carousel: iCarousel, itemTransformForOffset offset: CGFloat, baseTransform transform: CATransform3D) -> CATransform3D {
let offsetFactor = self.carousel(carousel, valueForOption: iCarouselOption.Spacing, withDefault: 1) * carousel.itemWidth
let zFactor: CGFloat = 150
let normalFactor: CGFloat = 0
let shrinkFactor: CGFloat = 1
let f = sqrt(offset*offset+1)-1
var transform = CATransform3DTranslate(transform, offset*offsetFactor, f*normalFactor, f*(-zFactor));
transform = CATransform3DScale(transform, 1/(f/shrinkFactor+1), 1/(f/shrinkFactor+1), 1);
return transform;
}
I do not have enough reputation to comment so i have to ask a further question as a reply :(
@burax is it possible to layout items on linear line instead of a hyperbola but keep the resizing?
Regards, and sorry for asking like this
Edit : with random tries i achieved with this :
- (CATransform3D)carousel:(iCarousel *)carousel itemTransformForOffset:(CGFloat)offset baseTransform:(CATransform3D)transform
{
const CGFloat radius = [self carousel:carousel valueForOption:iCarouselOptionRadius withDefault:5050.0];
const CGFloat offsetFactor = [self carousel:carousel valueForOption:iCarouselOptionSpacing withDefault:0.8f]*carousel.itemWidth;
const CGFloat angle = offset*offsetFactor/radius;
//... the faster they shrink
const CGFloat shrinkFactor = 2.0f;
//hyperbola (now only for shrinking purposes)
CGFloat f = sqrtf(offset*offset+1)-1;
transform = CATransform3DTranslate(transform, radius*sinf(angle), radius*(1-cosf(angle)), 0.0);
transform = CATransform3DRotate(transform, angle, 0, 0, 1);
transform = CATransform3DScale(transform, 1/(f*shrinkFactor+1.0f), 1/(f*shrinkFactor+1.0f), 1.0);
return transform;
}
there is probably a better way but i am new to transformations :)
