如何在XCode storyboard编辑器中设置主视图的背景图像？

Question

I am trying to set a background image for my main superview in the story board editor without creating another view(just for a background image). I can change the class of my main view to UIImageView, but the editor will not show me the option to specify a background image. How can I make this work?

It is possible, but you won't get visual feedback from the storyboard. Under the Identity inspector (cmd+option+3), there is a pane for setting user-defined runtime attributes, and setting the backgroundColor to a [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:] should work just fine. I would however, for clarity, keep that sort of stuff in the viewDidLoad -method
