I'm trying to mask CALayer with a bitmap image. And I failed masking CALayer. My code is:

// 'PreloadViewController layerWithImageNamed' create a layer and set it's contents as specified UIImage.
CALayer* title = [PreloadViewController layerWithImageNamed:@"pinkhug_txt.png"];
 [[[self view] layer] addSublayer:title];

 CALayer* title_mask = [PreloadViewController layerWithImageNamed:@"hug_mask.png"];
 [title setMask:title_mask];

The Apple reference says "CALayer in iPhone does not support mask property". But there is a postings about this on SO. Is it possible? Or what's wrong with my code?

I've got a UIView (and thus a CALayer) which I'm trying to warp or bend slightly in 3D space. That is, imagine my UIView is a flat label which I want to partially wrap around a beer bottle (not 360 degrees around, just on one "side"). I figured this would be possible by applying a transform to the… >>> More

Rotate a CALayer when it reaches a certain position

I've got a CALayer with two CAKeyframeAnimations added to it. One is for @"transform" and the other is for @"position". I am rotating the layer and translating it with these two animations. I am wondering, is there a way I can set the keyframes to happen at the same time? I want to have a keyframe… >>> More
