How To Use

Checkout demo project for some real life action!

Instantiating

Setup a dataSource, an optional delegate, add subview and you're done

MCSFishEyeView *fisheye = [[MCSFishEyeView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 50.0f, 600.0f)];  
fisheye.dataSource = self;
fisheye.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:fisheye];

Items

MCSFishEyeView has the notion of items, which are more or less similar to table view cells. Each item should be a subclass of MCSFishEyeViewItem, as it already provides convinent methods for setting highlighted and selected state. You register a class to MCSFishEyeView by this one-liner:

[fisheye registerItemClass:[MCSExampleFishEyeItem class]];

Inside your custom MCSFishEyeViewItem subclass you are free to do whatever you want in both

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated

and

- (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated

methods, just make sure you call super (don't worry, compiler will warn you if you forget to do so).

States

MCSFishEyeView has three different states:

• MCSFishEyeStateCollapsed - in this state all the items are collapsed, no item is highlighted or selected

  

• MCSFishEyeStateExpandedActive - items are moving around according to touch location, at most one element is highlighted, no elements are selected

  

• MCSFishEyeStateExpandedPassive - in this state a single item is standing out in selected state, all the other items are collapsed
