Question

See the following image

I want to change the shape of highlighted view by dragging its corner.. not necessory the view after dragging the corner should be rectangle it can be any arbitary shape

now i have done the 4 corners movable on touch event but the shape is not changing

I got this code from internet.

this will able to move corners on touch event but the shape is not moving...
