Constrain Drag UIButton on Diagonal Path with Vector Calculations and Swift Code Example
Constrain Drag UIButton on Diagonal Path When creating interactive elements like buttons, it’s essential to consider their behavior and movement within the app’s UI hierarchy. One common requirement is to constrain the drag path of a button to follow a specific diagonal line, such as the center of the screen from any point desired. In this article, we’ll explore how to achieve this constraint using Swift and UIKit.
Understanding Vector Calculations To understand how to constrain the drag path, we need to grasp some fundamental concepts in vector mathematics.
