You can place your image inside a scroll view and animate it, using Core Animation. Check the UIView class methods to begin an animation context and commit it. Sent from my iPhone On 16/07/2010, at 09:09, Kalyanraju M wrote: > Hi All, > I have a image with size 480 * 320 (iPhone Landscape mo

I don’t know if you know it, but “ClearType” / antialiasing in fonts works only on opaque images, you won’t have the best rendering method possible if your background is transparent. (From CATextLayer documentation, but I think it applies to the entire OS as well, because it makes sense : "Tex
