ZSPinAnnotation
=============
Have you ever felt limited by the three Annotation pin colors that Apple provides with MapKit? Have you ever thought it was a pain to have to create custom images in photoshop every time you wanted to change the color? `ZSPinAnnotation` solves these problems by building the pin annotation on the fly and caching them for performance. All pin annotations use `CoreGraphics` to draw the pins so you get super sharp and beautiful annotations of any color. `ZSPinAnnotation` is a `MKAnnotationView` subclass, so you can easily use it in your `mapView:viewForAnnotation:` method.
How It Works
---
Use a ZSPinAnnotation on a MapView:
```objective-c
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mV viewForAnnotation:(id )annotation {
// Don't mess with user location
if(![annotation isKindOfClass:[ZSAnnotation class]])
return nil;
ZSAnnotation *a = (ZSAnnotation *)annotation;
static NSString *defaultPinID = @"StandardIdentifier";
// Create the ZSPinAnnotation object and reuse it
ZSPinAnnotation *pinView = (ZSPinAnnotation *)[self.mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:defaultPinID];
if (pinView == nil){
pinView = [[ZSPinAnnotation alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:defaultPinID];
}
// Set the type of pin to draw and the color
pinView.annotationType = ZSPinAnnotationTypeStandard;
pinView.annotationColor = a.color;
pinView.canShowCallout = YES;
return pinView;
}
```
How to use in your App
---
`ZSPinAnnotation` requires the `QuartzCore.framework`, `CoreImage.framework` and `CoreGraphics.framework`.
Take a look at the demo project in the download for an example of how to use `ZSPinAnnotation`.
Pin Types
---
ZSPinAnnotation provides three different types of pin images: `ZSPinAnnotationTypeStandard`, `ZSPinAnnotationTypeDisc`, `ZSPinAnnotationTypeTag` and `ZSPinAnnotationTypeTagStroke`. The default is `ZSPinAnnotationTypeStandard` which defaults to the color `red`.
