Types of layers

The project below contains examples of all the different layer content that is possible. It’s large, but you can switch to Present mode ⇧⌘F to get a fullscreen view.

When viewed on an iPhone (or iPod Touch) it will present the information on different pages.

Layers with text

• The first row in the above prototype contains Text Layers. (Note how the shadow is applied to the text itself.) How they differ from common layers is explained in the next part of the book.
• The second row, with the fish emojis, has common layers with the text set on their html property. These ‘HTML layers’ are also explained over there.
