ios - Specify direction of "show" (push) segue -

is there simple way specify direction (from left, right, top, or bottom) of "show" segue (previously called "push" segue)?

the default "show" segue goes left right, go bottom top.

i don't believe there built in method achieve that, use custom transitions, introduced in ios7. there plenty of great tutorials out there, i've added links below , sample code demonstrating how slide new view controller down top.

sites check out:

• wwdc 2013 - custom transitions using view controllers

• animated transitions in swift / ios8

• introduction custom view controller transitions , animations

• raywenderlich: how make view controller transition animation in ping app

(note: way uiviewcontroller's view accessed in third , fourth tutorials outdated. instead of toviewcontroller.view should use transitioncontext.viewforkey(uitransitioncontexttoviewkey))

an example:

firstly, you're going need set storyboard, i'm going assume you've done.

secondly, need nsobject subclass conforms uiviewcontrolleranimatedtransitioning. used control transition 1 view controller next.

class transitionmanager : nsobject, uiviewcontrolleranimatedtransitioning {     let animationduration = 0.5      func transitionduration(transitioncontext: uiviewcontrollercontexttransitioning) -> nstimeinterval {         return animationduration     }      func animatetransition(transitioncontext: uiviewcontrollercontexttransitioning) {         let containerview = transitioncontext.containerview()         let toview = transitioncontext.viewforkey(uitransitioncontexttoviewkey)!         containerview.addsubview(toview)          let finalframe  = containerview.bounds         let initalframe = cgrect(x: 0, y: -finalframe.height, width: finalframe.width, height: finalframe.height)          toview.frame = initalframe         uiview.animatewithduration(animationduration,             animations: { toview.frame = finalframe },             completion: { _ in transitioncontext.completetransition(true) })     } } 

as described in raywenderlich: how make view controller transition animation in ping app tutorial, you'll need setup uinavigationcontroller's delegate. following navigationcontrollerdelegate class used return instance of transitionmanager when push segue being conducted:

class navigationcontrollerdelegate: nsobject, uinavigationcontrollerdelegate {     let transitionmanager = transitionmanager()      func navigationcontroller(navigationcontroller: uinavigationcontroller, animationcontrollerforoperation operation: uinavigationcontrolleroperation, fromviewcontroller fromvc: uiviewcontroller, toviewcontroller tovc: uiviewcontroller) -> uiviewcontrolleranimatedtransitioning? {         if operation == .push {             return transitionmanager         }          return nil     } } 

and should it! expand on i'd recommend take @ interactive transitions.
