Core Animation in JSCocoa

I was asked some sample code of what can be done quickly in JSCocoa, so here's a quick Core Animation sample :

NOTE this is done on a Mac, not on an iPhone, which doesn't handle (yet ?) Core Image.

  • This is assuming you have a Core Animation view, a view on which you set myView.wantsLayer = true
  • The layer is created and added to an existing parentLayer (which can just be myView.layer)
  • masksToBounds clips the layer content to its rounded corners. Without it, the image will overflow the rounded corners
  • I'm not releasing the color created with CGColorCreateGenericRGB — hey, it's quick code :)
