Analysis of Apple’s rubber band scrolling

January 6, 2013

I recently saw a post on Twitter from @chpwn that described the alogorithm that Apple uses for its “rubber band” or “bungee” scrolling.

b = (1.0 – (1.0 / ((x * c / d) + 1.0))) * d

A simple way to detect at runtime if we're running in UIKit legacy mode or the new "flat" variant. Written for our PDF iOS SDK (http://pspdfkit.com), where the precompiled binary needs to detect at runtime in what variant it's running. Want more stuff like that? Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/steipete
// Taken from http://PSPDFKit.com. This snippet is under public domain.
#define UIKitVersionNumber_iOS_7_0 0xB57
BOOL PSPDFIsUIKitFlatMode(void) {
static BOOL isUIKitFlatMode = NO;
static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
// We get the modern UIKit if system is running >= iOS 7 and we were linked with >= SDK 7.
if (kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber >= kCFCoreFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_7_0) {
isUIKitFlatMode = (NSVersionOfLinkTimeLibrary("UIKit") >> 16) >= UIKitVersionNumber_iOS_7_0;
}

Image Blurring – Accelerate vs. CoreImage

1.3MB png 640x1136

  • Accelerate 179ms every time
  • CoreImage 298ms first time 147ms subsequent times @1x scale
  • CoreImage 262ms first time 126ms subsequent times @0.5x scale
  • CoreImage 260ms first time 118ms subsequent times @0.25x scale

(Lower on 0.5x probably because of whole number for blur radius)

How to read and write PNG file using libpng. Covers trivial method calls like png_set_filler.

steipete / PSPDFThreadSafeMutableDictionary.m
Last active January 20, 2025 07:33
Simple implementation of a thread safe mutable dictionary. In most cases, you want NSCache instead, but it can be useful in situations where you want to manually control what is evicted from the cache in low memory situations.**Warning:** I only use this for setting/getting keys. Enumeration is not thread safe here and will still throw exception…

Core Image custom filter to generate an angular gradient. The center is at the origin (0,0). You may want to use CIAffineTransform and/or CICrop on the output.
