transform

Specifies the transform applied to the view, relative to the center of its bounds.

Declaration

var transform: CGAffineTransform { get set }

Discussion

Use this property to scale or rotate the view’s frame rectangle within its superview’s coordinate system. (To change the position of the view, modify the center property instead.) The default value of this property is CGAffineTransformIdentity.

Transformations occur relative to the view’s anchor point. By default, the anchor point is equal to the center point of the frame rectangle. To change the anchor point, modify the anchorPoint property of the view’s underlying CALayer object.

Changes to this property can be animated.

In iOS 8.0 and later, the transform property does not affect Auto Layout. Auto layout calculates a view’s alignment rectangle based on its untransformed frame.
