AbstractView

(The quality issues are GIF-related, not related to this library)

AbstractView is a simple UIView subclass that you can use as a background view to give some flavor compared to having just a plain white background. The way it works is by adding a bunch of abstract shapes (ovals, rectangles, etc.) and putting a UIVisualEffectView over the top of it. It's highly customizable, and can be extended in many ways, including the addition of other abstract shapes.

Features

• Randomly generates abstract shapes and puts a visual effect view on top of it
• The visual effect can be customized
• Supports adding a custom background view to the abstract view
• The number of shapes can be customized
• The color palette of the generated shapes can be customized
• The size of the shapes can be customized
• Additional abstract shapes can be supported using ShapeInitializer closures
• The view is scalable and can be resized to fit orientation changes

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• tvOS 9.0+
• Xcode 7+

Installation using CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.

Because AbstractView is written in Swift, you must use frameworks.

To integrate AbstractView into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'AbstractView'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Installation using Carthage

Add this to your Cartfile:

github "nuudles/AbstractView"

Usage

Simply add an AbstractView into your view hierarchy. Note that any subviews should be added to the AbstractView's contentView

let abstractView = AbstractView()
self.addSubview(abstractView)

abstractView.contentView.addSubview(mySubview)

Customize the number of abstract shapes by using the shapeCount property:

abstractView.shapeCount = 20

You can customize the size of the abstract shapes using the minShapeSize and maxShapeSize properties:

abstractView.minShapeSize = 50
abstractView.maxShapeSize = 100

Change the set of colors that can be assigned to the abstract shapes by using the colorPalette property:

abstractView.colorPalette = [UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.0, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0), UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.8, alpha: 1.0)]
