围绕其左上角旋转矩形

Question

Simply trying to rotate a rectangle around it's origin, or its upper left corner like so:

Am using the following:

panGestureRecognizer.view.transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(panGestureRecognizer.view.transform, (M_PI * angle) / 180);

But the rectangle is sort of rotating in a big loop. Is there some sort of translation I need to do to get this to work?

Answer 1

You just need to set the anchor point: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/graphicsimaging/reference/CALayer_class/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/CALayer/anchorPoint

panGestureRecognizer.view.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.0, 0.0);
