ios开发之View属性hidden, opaque, alpha的区别

1. @property(nonatomic) CGFloat alpha;
This value affects only the current view and does not affect any of its embedded subviews.Changes to this property can be animated.
2. @property(nonatomic, getter=isHidden) BOOL hidden;
The default value is NO.
A hidden view disappears from its window and does not receive input events. Itremains in its superview’s list of subviews, however, and participates in autoresizing as usual.Hiding a view with subviews has the effect of hiding those subviews and any view descendants they might have. This effect is implicit anddoes not alter the hidden state of the receiver’s descendants.
3. @property(nonatomic, getter=isOpaque) BOOL opaque;
This property provides a hint to the drawing system as to how it should treat the view.If set to YES, the drawing system treats the view as fully opaque, which allows the drawing system to optimize some drawing operations and improve performance. If set to NO, the drawing system composites the view normally with other content. The default value of this property is YES.
You should always set the value of this property to NO if the view is fully or partially transparent.
alpha支持animation, hidden和opaque不支持
hidden开销小,alpha=0透明开销大,如果效果一样,用hidden好一点.
hideen的时候view是不接收事件的,但alpha为0接收
上面的英文文档有一点挺重要的,当把View设置为透明的背景时,一般把opaque设置为NO,可以减少开销,对内存也好.
