Swift: restoring UIView center after moving it

Question

I'm using gestures to zoom and move a UIImageView (like Instagram zoom, for example). When the gesture ends, I want to restore UIImageView initial position, but I cannot get a copy of the initial center because it's a reference type. Using:

let prevCenter = myImage.center

is of course useless. How can I copy it?

Answer 1

On zoom and move apply transform to view. On the end just set .identity value.

Edit

Example:

@IBOutlet weak var butt: UIButton!

var offsetTransform: CGAffineTransform = .identity
var zoomTransform: CGAffineTransform = .identity

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    let pan = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(onPan(pan:)))
    pan.minimumNumberOfTouches = 2
    pan.delegate = self
    view.addGestureRecognizer(pan)

    let pinch = UIPinchGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(onPinch(pinch:)))
    pinch.delegate = self
    view.addGestureRecognizer(pinch)
}

@objc func onPinch(pinch: UIPinchGestureRecognizer) {
    let s = pinch.scale
    zoomTransform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: s, y: s)
    butt.transform = offsetTransform.concatenating(zoomTransform)
    if (pinch.state == .ended) {
        finish()
    }
}

@objc func onPan(pan: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
    let t = pan.translation(in: view)
    offsetTransform = CGAffineTransform(translationX: t.x, y: t.y)
}

func updatePos() {
    butt.transform = offsetTransform.concatenating(zoomTransform)
}

func finish() {
    butt.transform = .identity
}

func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWith otherGestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
    return true
}
