Are there any third-party libraries to do cool vie

Question

I don't really like that flip-transition. It's boring. I'd like to see something cool, like water effect, fog, or whatever. Is there something available or do I have to (re)invent the wheel for that?

Answer 1

The animation types available via [CATransition animation] are:

• kCATransitionFade
• kCATransitionPush
• kCATransitionMoveIn
• kCATransitionReveal
• @"suckEffect"
• @"spewEffect"
• @"genieEffect"
• @"unGenieEffect"
• @"rippleEffect"
• @"twist"
• @"tubey"
• @"swirl"
• @"charminUltra"
• @"zoomyIn"
• @"zoomyOut"

The transition types available via [UIView setAnimationTransition:forView:cache:] are:

• UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft
• UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight
• UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlUp
• UIViewAnimationTransitionCurlDown

Answer 2

The iPhone SDK comes with a whole bunch of built in animations. rpetrich listed some of them and I do believe that there are more.

For example using the UINavigationController class provides stock animation which, while simple, is quite effective.
