Hello all, and welcome to our weekly roundup! We have a great set of controls for your perusal today, plus it’s generally shaping up to be an exciting second half of the month with the announcement of the smaller iPad (Mini? Air?) rumored to take place on the 23rd, potentially along with a 13" ‘Retina’ MacBook Pro.
Beyond that, we’d love to hear from folks who’d be interested in meeting up in the Seattle area (those of you who did respond, we haven’t forgotten about you!), or from people anywhere else in the world who might be interested in a Google Hangout in the near future. Just drop us an email!
Cheers,
Aaron

SMCalloutView
This week’s control of the week comes from Nick Farina, the cofounder of Meridian, a maker of apps for places in Portland, Oregon (hey Nick, I’d love to see indoor maps for all Kroger supermarkets; I can never find anything!).
SMCalloutView is a lightweight callout view class for iOS mimicking UICalloutView. We all love those “bubbles” you get when clicking pins in MKMapView. But sadly, it’s impossible to present this bubble-style “Callout” UI anywhere outside MKMapView. Phooey! So this class painstakingly recreates this handy control for your pleasure.

MTImageMapView
MTImageView is a simple UIImageView written entirely in CoreGraphics and GCD for handling of touches on complex polygon map on both iPhone and iPad.
It is able to place very complex polygon maps such as states of US, and accurately tells which one is touched. You do not need whole array of buttons to take input on complicated polygon maps. Just a single drop-in MTImageMapView at IB or your code and that is it.
All mapping, and memory allocations are handled by the component at runtime. I use US states to demonstrate how it works. This control is tested from 4.3 to 6.0 on devices, does not support ARC yet, and everything is packed in two files only.
