Make 3 views visible with a NIPagingScrollView?

Question

I am playing around with NIPagingScrollView and I am wondering a couple of things:

• Is it mandatory to return a view that has a width of 320px in pagingScrollView:pageViewForIndex:? If not, is there a way to automatically center the view in a page?
• I would like to display on the right edge and the left edge of the screen a piece of the right and left views of the NIPagingScrollView. Is it possible?

Thanks!

Basically, this works the same way as you'd do for a UIScrollView:

1. Set clipsToBounds to NO on both the NIPagingScrollView, as well as it's child UIScrollView instance (pagingScrollView);
2. Make your NIPagingScrollView less than the width of the parent view — 260px worked find for my needs, but adjust this as necessary;

Honestly though, if you're targeting iOS 6 or higher I would suggest using a UICollectionView instead of NIPagingScrollView. You'll get a lot more flexibility in your layout.
