bounds vs frame in iOS

Frame vs Bounds

from: http://zyc-to.blog.163.com/blog/static/1715240020101130113542374/

Which to use?
-Usually depends on the context
If you are using a view, typically you use frame
If you are implementing a view, typically you use bounds
Matter of perspective
-From outside it's usually the frame
-From inside it's usually the bounds
Examples;
-Creating a view, positioning a view in superview - use frame
-Handing events, drawing a view - use bounds

应该使用哪一个？
-这通常取决于不同情况。

如果你正在使用一个 view，通常使用 frame
如果你正在实例化一个 view，通常使用 bounds
这取决于看待的角度
-从外面来看，通常是 frame
-从里面看，通常是 bounds

例如：
-创建一个 view，放在 super view 中，使用frame
-处理事件，如绘制一个 view，使用bounds

Check out Apple's guide on View Geometry. They have pretty good examples on what happens when you change bounds and frame values.
