I am trying to make an app that uses a radial dial. As an example the radial dial features as availabel in this app

What I wanted to ask is what method should I use to accomplish this? Guys, I am not asking you to write the code for me what I am asking is how is this done conceptually? I mean when a user swipses left/right on the screen how does it know which radial dial to move and in which direction. I am sure there are multiple buttons and there is some image transition going on here. I need to understand the concept of making such a thing. If anyone know or has done something similar please do share your thoughts. Does apple has a sample code for this? Thank you.
The central concepts are:
Ability to rotate an image around a center point.
Ability to calculate an angle relative to the center point given an x,y coordinate.
So, to move the wheel:
To register button taps on the wheel:
You asked for a high-level explanation of the concepts - and that's pretty much it.
