Rainer has a Flipr project which performs the same operation on a
window, maybe you could adapt it to your views. I'm not familiar with
the source at all, but if you haven't seen this thought you might
appreciate it.

I would like to implement a switch between two views, each with
their own set of controls etc., so the switch animates like when you
click on the small "i" on a widget, i.e. the concept of a front and
a back. The animation should flip the views around a vertical axis
in the middle of their frame. I've looked at the ViewFlip and
GeekGameBoard examples (and many others) and kinda have things
working, but it is not quite what I want. I would like to solicit
opinions on what the best strategy is. The ViewFlip uses
CATransform3DMakeRotation, but that isn't ideal as described in the
GeekGameBoard example. The GeekGameBoard uses CALayer and not
NSViews, so I'm unsure how to change the example to what I need.
One approach I've considered is to add an animation to the parent
view ("subviews" property) so it moves and resizes the view. Let's
say that the views are 200x400 and with frameOrigin at 0,0. Would it
then make sense to have the front animate from ((0,0),(200,400)) to
((100,0),(0,400)) and the reverse for the back (assuming doubleSided
is NO)?
Is there a much better and obvious way, once you've seen the
light :o), to achieve the front/back flip animation?
