That's interesting for a couple of reasons. The first line says that all properties are optional. Also, I didn't use the header, I used the documentation which has this extra line in it over and above the ones above "All properties are nil. Interpolates between the previous value of keyPath in the target layer’s presentation layer and the current value of keyPath in the target layer’s presentation layer." and was very careful to make sure I used the latest iOS docs not the OSX ones, I've made that mistake before. This is what it actually does for the position property Finally, were it true, it would make the class of restricted use, you couldn't use setAnimation:forKey with it if you wanted to animate between the previous and current value of a property, which is probably the most usual use case. OK nobody knows, my OCD has kicked in on this one so I'll burn a DTS incident on it, I might learn something. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
