The Wheel Control plugin provides an animated wheel at the bottom of your app that can be used to select various screens. The wheel will remain on top of your app, regardless of what screen is loaded. A button in the center of the wheel can be pressed to move the wheel down, off the screen (with just the top part showing). Click the wheel again will reveal it once more. Also, as the user navigates through your app, the wheel will detect if they are on a screen that relates to one of the wheel segments. If so, the wheel will automatically rotate to that segment. This project was inspired by the how-to document "How to create a rotating wheel control with UIKit" by Cesare Rocchi. The full how-to is located at http://www.raywenderlich.com/9864/how-to-create-a-rotating-wheel-control-with-uikit. Although inspired, a lot of modifications were made from those instructions to arrive at this plugin.

Looks very cool Chris! Kind of like a tab tar without having to have a tabbar :) Is the wheel size adjustable (via code or otherwise)? I think I'd like to use it and have the wheel go from edge to edge, spanning the width of the screen.

Right now, no it's not. You could maybe play around with the code to do so, but it's fairly complex I'll warn you. There's also some graphics that are designed with this size in mind, so you'd need to adjust those as well.

Ok, cool. Great job! Looks fantastic.

Chris you are a rock star!!

Very cool, nice work Chris!

Hey Chris, first off - I love this plugin. Second, I'm having an issue getting it to work. I am trying to populate the segments and it's stuck loading. I tried it on my self-hosting site and the BT site and the same thing occurs. Here's a screen shot. https://www.dropbox.com/s/oeqc22ue9sx72sd/Screen%20Shot%202014-04-16%20at%204.56.51%20PM.png The other thing is, it's not loading on my simulator. Not sure if this is all intertwined...

Spiffy! Cheers! -- Smug

Becky - I just updated the plugin to fix the control panel bug. Let me know if it works for you now or not.

Wow, this is a really cool plugin. Your screenshots don't do it justice:)

Thanks Becky! If you have any better screenshots to share, I'd love to include them on the plugin details page.

Ha, well the coolest thing is seeing it in motion. We'll see what I come up with as far as screenshots.

Hey Chris - It's not allowing me to use a menu with the plugin. I get the screen that says missing plugin. I've tried a few different menus with the same results.

Hmm - can you send me your project folder via Dropbox?

Hi Chris, Same issue as Becky, and some more. When populating the Wheel Segments it's ok, but editing Segment Image breaks all and you have the 'missing plugin' issue. One icon is not displayed in the Wheel Segments. In the CP, just above the Wheel Segments populating area, we have 'Segments 2-7:'... should be 2-8??? Puzzling... In the JSON Data sample, there are 2 settings which are not appearing in the CP: useLargeCenterTab and useScrollableTabs ... but this plugin is really amazing! Cheers Jack

Have all the bugs with this plugin been fixed?
