A way to add Instagram like layout guide with UIPinchGestureRecognizer UIRotationGestureRecognizer & UIPanGestureRecognizer?

I have used UIPinchGestureRecognizer UIPanGestureRecognizer & UIRotationGestureRecognizer with UILabel to achieve Instagram like zoom and drag functionality. Now I would like to show layout guide like when UILabel is dragged in center it should show layout guide like below example. It should also display layout guide when you rotate UILabel.

What is the best and accurate possible way to achieve this functionality?

This is what I already have

Here is code I have for simple drag and zoom functionality (taken from this answer by @lbsweek)

SnapGesture Class

import UIKit

/*
 usage:

    add gesture:
        yourObjToStoreMe.snapGesture = SnapGesture(view: your_view)
    remove gesture:
        yourObjToStoreMe.snapGesture = nil
    disable gesture:
        yourObjToStoreMe.snapGesture.isGestureEnabled = false
    advanced usage:
        view to receive gesture(usually superview) is different from view to be transformed,
        thus you can zoom the view even if it is too small to be touched.
        yourObjToStoreMe.snapGesture = SnapGesture(transformView: your_view_to_transform, gestureView: your_view_to_recieve_gesture)

Add Gesture in UILabel

Below you will find an updated version of your class that should do what you describe.

Most of the updated code is located at the last section (Guides) near the end, but I have updated your UIGestureRecognizer actions a bit as well as your main init method.

Features:

- A vertical guide for centering a view's position horizontally.

- A horizontal guide for centering a view's rotation at 0 degrees.

- Position and rotation snapping to guides with tolerance values (snapToleranceDistance and snapToleranceAngle properties).

- Animated appearance / disappearance of guides (animateGuides and guideAnimationDuration properties).

- Guide views that can be changed per use case (movementGuideView and rotationGuideView properties)
