In a nutshell, I am trying to figure out how to scale the geometry (point, line, and polygon) implemented in a custom view (geometryView) on top of MKMapView (mapView).
What I did was..
Create DrawMapViewController. Add the UIBarButtonItems (MAP, PT, LN, PG) on the bottom toolbar.
When you click on map button, you are able to pan/zoom on the Map. This enables the mapView by setting the geometryView.hidden = YES;
When any of the three geometry buttons is clicked, the geometryView is displayed by geometryView.hidden = NO, thus, enabling touchEvents and drawing the geometry from GeometryView.drawRect's method.
Layer ordering is as follows: mapView is at the bottom of geometryView.
-geometryView
-mapView
What is my problem? Ideally, during "map" mode and when the user is panning and zooming, I am hoping if its possible to display the drawing from geometryView. But when the user hits "map", then geometryView.hidden = YES, thus the drawing disappears. If I make geometryView visible, then the user interacts with geometryView not mapView, so there's no zooming and panning.
Is it possible to handle touchEvents (pan/zoom) of MKMapView below a custom view while the custom View is displayed? Any other ideas/approaches is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rupert
