shrink_left,grow_down,below, and many many more. - Easy conversion to and from
NSValue(#to_ns_valueand##from_ns_value) - Adds nice
inspectmethods - Many operators (
+, -, *) -

When you are positioning frames, you'll be doing so in one of two ways:
- Two frames relative to each other, within a common parent frame
- A frame being added as a child of another frame
(generally speaking)
geomotion is optimized for both cases, but the arsenal of methods is different.
frames relative to each other
Any of the location methods (up, down, left, right, beside, before, above, below)
will return a frame that is in the same coordinate system of the receiver, and
this behavior cannot be changed.
frame = CGRect.make(x: 10, y: 10, width:10, height: 10)
frame.beside
# => [[20, 10], [10, 10]]
frame.right(30).down(5).taller(100)
# => [[10+30, 10+5], [10, 10+100]]
# aka
# => [[40, 15], [10, 110]]Any methods that include the x or y variable in their name will be absolute.
frame.x
frame.min_x
frame.max_x
frame.mid_x
frame.y
frame.min_y
frame.max_y
frame.mid_ypositions relative to the frame's origin
Any of the position methods that do NOT include the x or y variable will ignore the x and y values unless explicitly told to use absolute coordinates.
Note: These methods will "normalize" the width and height, so even if the width or height is negative, these methods will always return positive numbers. If you specify absolute coordinates, the values might be negative, but they will also be sorted (x == min, min < mid, mid < max, x + width == max).
frame = CGRect.make(x: 10, y: 10, width:10, height: 10)
frame.top_left # => [0, 0]
frame.top_center # => [5, 0]
frame.bottom_right # => [10, 10]
# use absolute coordinates
frame.top_left(true) # => [10, 10]
frame.top_center(true) # => [15, 10]
frame.bottom_right(true) # => [20, 20]
# negative widths and heights are "corrected" when using absolute coordinates
frame = CGRect.make(x: 20, y: 20, width:-10, height: -10)
frame.top_center(true) # => [15, 10]
frame.bottom_right(true) # => [20, 20]The great and powerful apply method
Most of the frame-manipulation methods delegate to the apply method. You can
use this method to perform batch changes.
frame = view.frame.apply(left: 10, y: 0, wider: 50, grow_height: 10)All of the methods that return a new frame (left, shrink, below and friends)
also accept a hash in which you can apply more changes. You can accomplish the
same thing using method chaining; this is an implementation detail that might
also clean your code up by grouping changes.
frame = CGRect.make(x: 10, y: 10, width:10, height: 10)
frame.beside.width(20).down(10).height(20)
# => [[20, 20], [20, 20]]
# using the options hash / apply method
frame.beside(width: 20, down: 10, height: 20)
# => [[20, 20], [20, 20]]
frame.below(grow_width: 10, grow_up: 5)
# => [[0, 15], [40, 25]]
# convert to NSValue, for use in NSCoding or where an Objective-C object is
# needed. CGRect is a "boxed" object in RubyMotion, and in Objective-C it is a
# C-struct and so can't be stored in an NSArray, for example.

CALayers can take on full 3D transforms.
