| Hi Erick,
|

| of a pain.  One
| session of sitting down with the rotate tool in Photoshop and
| automating the
| export process, and you're done.  I found that 72 graphics
| made for a smooth
| rotate - one for every 5 degrees.  My class stores the actual
| angle even
| more accurately, and just uses the closest angle graphic when
| rendering.
|
| My DJ app uses this approach:

| Works well if you want a true knob "turning" effect.
|
| Unfortunately, I'm a little wary of sharing the class or
| graphics - last
| time I shared something like this (it was some iTunes parsing
| classes in the
| previous case), a competitor (quite legitimately and fairly)
| integrated them
| into his app, so I don't really want to do the same again :-(
