Animated CAShapeLayer Pie

Question

I am trying to create a simple and animated pie chart using CAShapeLayer. I want it to animate from 0 to a provided percentage.

To create the shape laye

I know this question has long been answered, but I don't quite think this is a good case for CAShapeLayer and CAKeyframeAnimation. Core Animation has the power to do animation tweening for us. Here's a class (with a wrapping UIView, if you like) that I use to accomplish the effect pretty well.

The layer subclass enables implicit animation for the progress property, but the view class wraps its setter in a UIView animation method. The interesting (and ultimately useful) side effect of using a 0.0 length animation with UIViewAnimationOptionBeginFromCurrentState is that each animation cancels out the previous one, leading to a smooth, fast, high-framerate pie, like this (animated) and this (not animated, but incremented).

@interface DZRoundProgressLayer : CALayer

@property (nonatomic) CGFloat progress;

@interface DZRoundProgressView : UIView

@property (nonatomic) CGFloat progress;

DZRoundProgressView.m

#import "DZRoundProgressView.h"
#import 

@implementation DZRoundProgressLayer

// Using Core Animation's generated properties allows
// it to do tweening for us.
@dynamic progress;

// This is the core of what does animation for us. It
// tells CoreAnimation that it needs to redisplay on
// each new value of progress, including tweened ones.
+ (BOOL)needsDisplayForKey:(NSString *)key {
    return [key isEqualToString:@"progress"] || [super needsDisplayForKey:key];
}

// This is the other crucial half to tweening.
// The animation we return is compatible with that
// used by UIView, but it also enables implicit
// filling-up-the-pie animations.
- (id)actionForKey:(NSString *) aKey {
    if ([aKey isEqualToString:@"progress"]) {
        CABasicAnimation *animation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:aKey];
        animation.fromValue = [self.presentationLayer valueForKey:aKey];
        return animation;
    }
    return [super actionForKey:aKey];
}

// This is the gold; the drawing of the pie itself.
// In this code, it draws in a "HUD"-y style, using
// the same color to fill as the border.

    CGRect circleRect = CGRectInset(self.bounds, 1, 1);

    CGColorRef borderColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
    CGColorRef backgroundColor = [[UIColor colorWithWhite: 1.0 alpha: 0.15] CGColor];

    CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, backgroundColor);
    CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, borderColor);
    CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 2.0f);

    CGContextFillEllipseInRect(context, circleRect);
    CGContextStrokeEllipseInRect(context, circleRect);

    CGFloat radius = MIN(CGRectGetMidX(circleRect), CGRectGetMidY(circleRect));
    CGPoint center = CGPointMake(radius, CGRectGetMidY(circleRect));
    CGFloat startAngle = -M_PI / 2;
    CGFloat endAngle = self.progress * 2 * M_PI + startAngle;
