Usage

Place a ScalpelFrameLayout at the root of your hierarchy.

• Enable the 3D interaction with setLayerInteractionEnabled(boolean).
• Toggle wireframe display with setDrawViews(boolean).
• Toggle view ID display with setDrawIds(boolean).
• Change the wireframe color with setChromeColor(int) and setChromeShadowColor(int).

When interaction is enabled the following gestures are supported:

• Single touch: Controls the rotation of the model.
• Two finger vertical pinch: Adjust zoom.
• Two finger horizontal pinch: Adjust layer spacing.

If you are using the Gradle-based build system, you can wrap this view group around your activity layouts only in the debug builds.

Note: There are known text rendering issues prior to Android 4.4 that cannot be fixed. Sorry.
