Pinch zooming a UIScrollView on the x-axis only

Question

I want to be able to pinch zoom on a UIScrollView, so that subviews expand/contract on the the x-axis only.

I create a UIScrollView, and using addSubview to add the UIViews. Each UIView has a UILabel in it. Should I be holding on to these UIViews in an array?

When I zoom I don't want the text size to be affected, just the width of each box. I guess I would need minimum and maximum zoom levels too.

Something like this is used in Apple's garageband app. Any idea how to do this?

Answer 1

(for the second time in a row, i'm answering my own Q with an answer that is much simpler than the original premise. i guess i should always look from another angle before asking questions..)

For the UIView I want to zoom (x-axis only), I subclass the view and add this method:

- (void)setTransform:(CGAffineTransform)newValue;
{
    newValue.d = 1.0;
    [super setTransform:newValue];
}

Of course I get issues with a UILabel added to this UIView. The label is stretched. So the answer is simply not to add it to the UIView, and instead add it directly to the scroll view. Then, if you have a couple of floats as properties, representing the original x origin and width of the label, you can calculate these, using the scroll view's scale, while the scroll view is zooming:

-(void)scrollViewDidZoom:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
    float scale = self.scrollView.zoomScale;
    self.label.frame = CGRectMake(self.originalXorigin*scale, self.label.frame.origin.y, self.originalWidth*scale, self.label.frame.size.height);
}
