## Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides (or edges) and four vertices or corners. AGGeometryKit lets you control each corner point individually.

You can access `quadrilateral` as a property just like you would do with `frame`, `center` or `bounds`. The coordinates is in same coordinate system as `frame` and `position`. You can use the quadrilateral on any UIView or CALayer - even webviews - with just as good performance as you would have not using it. The underlying technology is CATransform3D. More about quadrilaterals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral

```objective-c
UIView *view = ...; // create a view
[view.layer ensureAnchorPointIsSetToZero]; // set the anchor point to [0, 0] (this method keeps the same position)

AGKQuad quad = view.layer.quadrilateral;
quad.br.x += 20; // shift bottom right x-value with 20 pixels
quad.br.y += 50; // shift bottom right y-value with 50 pixels

view.layer.quadrilateral = quad; // the quad is converted to CATransform3D and applied
```

## UIView and CALayer properties

Example of some of the properties which is added to UIView and CALayer. Naming is done in same manner as `CGRectGetMaxX` for consistency.

```objective-c
...
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGPoint frameOrigin;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameMinX;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameMinY;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameMidX;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameMidY;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameMaxX;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameMaxY;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameWidth;
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGFloat frameHeight;
...
```

## CGGeometry-additions

Some of the most useful functions

```objective-c
...
CGRect CGRectInterpolate_AGK(CGRect rect1, CGRect rect2, CGFloat progress);
CGSize CGRectGapBetween_AGK(CGRect rect1, CGRect rect2);
CGPoint CGPointClamp_AGK(CGPoint p, CGFloat minX, CGFloat maxX, CGFloat minY, CGFloat maxY);
CGPoint CGPointAdd_AGK(CGPoint p1, CGPoint p2);
...
```

## Math

Some of the most useful functions

```objective-c
...
CGFloat AGKInterpolate(CGFloat startValue, CGFloat endValue, CGFloat progress);
CGFloat AGKRemapToZeroOne(CGFloat value, CGFloat startValue, CGFloat endValue);
CGFloat AGKRemap(CGFloat value, CGFloat oldStartValue, CGFloat oldEndValue, CGFloat newStartValue, CGFloat newEndValue);
CGFloat AGKRemapAndClamp(CGFloat value, CGFloat oldStartValue, CGFloat oldEndValue, CGFloat newStartValue, CGFloat newEndValue);
CGFloat AGKRemapToZeroOneAndClamp(CGFloat value, CGFloat oldStartValue, CGFloat oldEndValue);
CGFloat AGKClamp(CGFloat value, CGFloat min, CGFloat max);

CGFloat AGKRadiansToDegrees(CGFloat radians);
CGFloat AGKDegreesToRadians(CGFloat degrees);
...
```

## Debugging quadrilaterals

- anchorPoint must be {0, 0} always when using quadrilaterals
- the quadrilateral must be convex
- don't modify the frame, but instead use `layer.position` or `view.center` and `layer.bounds` or `view.bounds`
- quadrilateral can not be used in conjunction with other CATransform3D-things like perspective, scale, rotate etc
- remember the coordinate system for the `quadrilateral`-property is in the same coordinate as `frame` and `position`
- check if the autoresizing mask might be altering the frame (to be 100% sure it is good for debugging to turn off `autoresizesSubviews`)

It can also be useful to create a representation of the quadrilateral you are trying to display using a UIBezierPath:

```objective-c
UIView *quadPreview = [[UIView alloc] init];
quadPreview.frame = quadView.frame;
quadPreview.layer.shadowPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithAGQuad:quad].CGPath;
quadPreview.layer.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.5].CGColor;
quadPreview.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
quadPreview.layer.shadowRadius = 0.0;
quadPreview.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeZero;
quadPreview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[quadView.superview addSubview:quadPreview];
```
