you can use the Bresenham line algorithm
Here is a slightly simplified version, I used several times
+(NSArray*)getAllPointsFromPoint:(CGPoint)fPoint toPoint:(CGPoint)tPoint
{
NSMutableArray *ret = [NSMutableArray array];
float deltaX = fabsf(tPoint.x - fPoint.x);
float deltaY = fabsf(tPoint.y - fPoint.y);
float x = fPoint.x;
float y = fPoint.y;
float err = deltaX-deltaY;
float sx = -0.5;
float sy = -0.5;
if(fPoint.x<tPoint.x)
sx = 0.5;
if(fPoint.y<tPoint.y)
sy = 0.5;
do {
[ret addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:CGPointMake(x, y)]];
float e = 2*err;
if(e > -deltaY)
{
err -=deltaY;
x +=sx;
}
if(e < deltaX)
{
err +=deltaX;
y+=sy;
}
} while (round(x) != round(tPoint.x) && round(y) != round(tPoint.y));
[ret addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:tPoint]];
return ret;
}
If you just want to animate UIControlfrom one place to another, you can use UIAnimation:
[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0f delay:0.0f options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveLinear animations:^{
btn.center = CGPointMake(<NEW_X>, <NEW_Y>)
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
}];
