UIView will not rotate?

Question

I am trying to rotate a UIView , maybe i am doing something very stupid, but i can't seems to rotate that simple view :

 menuPointer=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(k*width, height, 50, 50)];
    menuPointer.transform=CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI/2);
    menuPointer.backgroundColor=upperView.backgroundColor;
    [upperView addSubview:menuPointer];

What happens is that i see a rect , at the right size, but not rotated . Do i need to import something like Quartz ?

Answer 1

Try something like this?

menuPointer.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(DegreesToRadians(90));
#define DegreesToRadians(x) ((x) * M_PI / 180.0)
