Rotating UIImageViews

[dylane94]

I am trying to rotate four UIImageViews around a single point (like a windmill). This has proved to be very difficult. I not only want the UIImageViews to move around in a circle (which I know how to do), but I want the UIImageView itself to rotate.

Ex:
UIImageView horizontal.
|---------

UIImageView Vertical
---
|
|
|


Is there a function for this? If not, how can this be achieved?

i dont think there is a function for this, but there will be a way to implement it (in fact, there are probably plenty of way to do it...)

if it would me, i would do it like this...

create a point for each view that defines the center of each view...
each time an individual view need to move around the point, recalculate the the centre point

as you recalculate each point to make the view move in a circular motion, you will also rotate the individual view. if they have one after the other quickly, it will appear to happen simultaneously...

does that make sense?

you know, i was just thinking that you dont have to go to all the trouble i proposed above...

have one big view that rotates. the other views are smaller sub views... with will rotate as the main view rotates... then just rotate the sub views within the main view...

that makes sense to be because i know what i am trying to say... i fear you may have no idea of what i am trying to say... this is why i can never be a teacher...
