In my current IOS project I want to display an image on screen, but make it a little more interesting.

The FlipBoard iPad application has a nice start screen which pans the images it displays, quite an eye catching effect. I wanted to do something similar in my application.

To achieve this I created a UIView subclass with the following structure:

UIView
--UIImageView

I then used [UIView animateWithDuration] to move the UIImageView whichever way I want.
In the sample code the view selects a random animation from the following set:

• Pan Left
• Pan Right
• Zoom In
• Zoom Out

The end result is quite nice!

Sample code can be downloaded here: https://code.google.com/p/objective-c-panview

Screenshot from the sample is below. Clicking "Animate" will select a random animation.
