`parallaxIntensity` as a name could use improvement #3

Open michaeljbishop opened 11 years ago

michaeljbishop commented 11 years ago

"Intensity" as a name is a bit vague and it's not clear if an "intensity" can be negative ( though the value of this variable certainly can be).

Suggestions:

parallaxDisplacement
parallaxAmount
parallaxOffset
parallaxAdjustment
parallaxLevel
parallaxPlane

I'm open to suggestions.

Hello,

parallaxLevel makes sense as a notion that increasing the 'level' increases the amount of the effect.

michaeljbishop commented 11 years ago

I was wondering about that. Does it make sense to make a negative "level"? That's my hesitation. It's difficult because the value is both relative to the superview and it's not strictly a Z-Value. It's weird.

Negative 'level' makes sense when thinking about the concept of 'sea level.' Negative and positive measurements exists and have their own effects on the landscape. However that's a little esoteric and I feel like I'm reaching there :ocean:

parallaxOffset may be clearer to those familiar with CSS where offset values can be negative or positive each with their own notion of expected effect.
