Usage

Basics

Create a PerspectiveView:

import Perspective

let perspectiveView = PerspectiveView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))

view.addSubview(perspectiveView)

Configure its contentSize:

perspectiveView.contentSize = CGSize(width: 1599, height: 900)

Add the images as arranged subviews:

for i in stride(from: 7, to: 0, by: -1) {
  let imgView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "castle-layer0\(i)"))
  imgView.frame.size = CGSize(width: 1599, height: 900)

  perspectiveView.addArrangedSubview(imgView)
}

Behaviours

A behaviour is an object that allows you to interact with the perspective view. If you want to let your users to scroll the persective you can add a PerspectiveScrollBehaviour, and if you want to use the accelerometer just add a PerspectiveMotionBehaviour. To add a new behaviour to your perspective view you must call the addBehaviour method.

Scroll

perspectiveView.addBehaviour(PerspectiveScrollBehaviour())

Motion

perspectiveView.addBehaviour(PerspectiveMotionBehaviour())

How it works

the PerspectiveView's frame rectangle: describes the view’s location and size in its superview’s coordinate system like any another UIView.
the PerspectiveView's contentSize: defines the extent of the content (usually UIImageView).
the arrangedSubviews: list the views arranged by the perspective view. The order of the views work like in any UIView. The foreground view is at the end of the array (as opposite to the background which is the first element of the array).

Configuration

If you use the motion behaviour, configure the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key of its Info.plist file with the accelerometer and gyroscope values:

Installation

The recommended approach to use Perspective in your project is using the CocoaPods package manager, as it provides flexible dependency management and dead simple installation.

CocoaPods

Install CocoaPods if not already available:

$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup

Go to the directory of your Xcode project, and Create and Edit your Podfile and add Perspective:

$ cd /path/to/MyProject
$ touch Podfile
$ edit Podfile
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '11.0'

use_frameworks!
pod 'Perspective', '~> 0.9.1'

Install into your project:

$ pod install

Open your project in Xcode from the .xcworkspace file (not the usual project file):

$ open MyProject.xcworkspace

You can now import Perspective framework into your files.

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that automates the process of adding frameworks to your Cocoa application.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate Perspective into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile file:

github "yannickl/Perspective" >= 0.9.1

Manually

Download the project and copy the Perspective folder into your project to use it in.
