UIPinchGestureRecognizer position the pinched view between the two fingers

Question

I successfully implemented a pinch a zoom of a view. However, the view doesn\'t position itself where I wished it to be. For the stackoverflowers with an iPad, I would like

Have a look at the Touches sample project. Specifically these methods could help you:

// scale and rotation transforms are applied relative to the layer's anchor point
// this method moves a gesture recognizer's view's anchor point between the user's fingers
- (void)adjustAnchorPointForGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
    if (gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) {
        UIView *piece = gestureRecognizer.view;
        CGPoint locationInView = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:piece];
        CGPoint locationInSuperview = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:piece.superview];

        piece.layer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(locationInView.x / piece.bounds.size.width, locationInView.y / piece.bounds.size.height);
        piece.center = locationInSuperview;
    }
}

// scale the piece by the current scale
// reset the gesture recognizer's rotation to 0 after applying so the next callback is a delta from the current scale
- (void)scalePiece:(UIPinchGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
    [self adjustAnchorPointForGestureRecognizer:gestureRecognizer];

    if ([gestureRecognizer state] == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan || [gestureRecognizer state] == UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged) {
        [gestureRecognizer view].transform = CGAffineTransformScale([[gestureRecognizer view] transform], [gestureRecognizer scale], [gestureRecognizer scale]);
        [gestureRecognizer setScale:1];
    }
}
