Analog clock with UIImages for hands?

Question

I want to know how to make an analog clock in iPhone SDK. However, I want the hands of the clock to be custom images and not squares drawn over like in this tutorial: http:

Answer 1

Do it with CALayers. is WAY much easier and performance is better this way.

CALayer *handLayer = [CALayer layer];
handLayer.contents = (id)[UIImage imageNamed:@"hand.png"].CGImage;
handLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5,0.0)];
[myview.layer addSublayer:handLayer];

//i.e.: if handLayer represents the seconds hand then repeat this every second ;)
handLayer.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation (angle); //set the angle here

UPDATE:

I wrote a ClockView sample using CALayers, maybe you find it useful.
