Features #

A popover is a transient view that appears above other content onscreen when you tap a control or in an area. Typically, a popover includes an arrow pointing to the location from which it emerged. Popovers can be nonmodal or modal. A nonmodal popover is dismissed by tapping another part of the screen or a button on the popover. A modal popover is dismissed by tapping a Cancel or other button on the popover.
