Answer 1

I would probably make the whole image (including the triangle) in Photoshop, and then display it on the screen at the appropriate time using the:

CGRect myRect = CGRectMake(10.0f, 0.0f, 300.0f, 420.0f);
UIImageView *myImage = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:myRect];
[myImage setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ThisIsMyImageName.png"]];
myImage.opaque = YES;
[self.view addSubview:myImage];
[myImage release];
