TOMSMorphingLabel
Configurable morphing transitions between text values of a label.
Triggering the animation is as easy as setting the labels text
property.
Demo
Installation with CocoaPods
TOMSMorphingLabel is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
Podfile
platform :ios, '7.0'
pod "TOMSMorphingLabel", "~> 0.2.0"
Usage
Instantiate TOMSMorphingLabel as you would do with an UILabel results in a fully working thus morphing label.
TOMSMorphingLabel *label = [[TOMSMorphingLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 42, self.view.frame.size.width, 42)];
[self.view addSubview:label];
Setting - and particularly changing - the labels text property will automatically morph the labels previous text to the new value.
label.text = @"Swift";
Note that the label will execute only one morph transition at a time. If the text value of the label changes during a transition - even if it changes multiple times - the label will invoke a transition to the youngest text value that was set.
Customization
TOMSMorphingLabel provides the possibility to configure the morphing transitions look and feel. The configureable properties are defined as follows:
configureable propertiesanimationDuration: CGFloat | Time that elapses between the setting of a new text value and the end of the morphing transition. Default: 0.37 |
characterAnimationOffset: CGFloat | Spatial propagation speed of the character shrink and alpha effect.. Default: 0.25 |
characterShrinkFactor: CGFloat | Factor that the scale of a completely disappeared character is divided by. Default: 4 |
