Is it possible to modify the anchorPoint
property on the root CALayer
of a layer-backed NSView
?
I have a view called myView
and it seems every time I set the anchorPoint
, it gets overridden in the next run loop. I am doing this:
NSView *myView = [[myView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50)];
//set the root layer
myView.layer = [CALayer layer];
myView.wantsLayer = YES;
//gets overridden on the next run loop
myView.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(1,1);
On 10.8, AppKit will control the following properties on a CALayer
(both when "layer-hosted" or "layer-backed"): geometryFlipped, bounds,
frame (implied), position, anchorPoint, transform, shadow*, hidden,
filters, and compositingFilter. … Use the appropriate NSView cover
methods to change these properties.
Basically it will set the anchor to [0,0] from [0.5,0.5], to account for this i uses something like :
+(void) accountForLowerLeftAnchor:(CALayer*)layer
{
CGRect frame = layer.frame;
CGPoint center = CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(frame), CGRectGetMidY(frame));
layer.position = center;
layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
}
