注意:UICollectionView的自定义功能就是自己去实现UICollectionViewLayout的子类，然后重写相应的方法来实现Cell的布局
1.当布局首次被加载时会调用prepareLayout函数
-(void)prepareLayout;
2.自定义ContentSize该方法会返回CollectionView的大小，这个方法也是自定义布局中必须实现的方法
-(CGSize)collectionViewContentSize;
3.该方法返回一个数组，该数组中存放的是为每个Cell绑定的UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes属性
-(NSArray *)layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:(CGRect)rect;
4.该方法中去定制每个Cell的属性
-(UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
5.该方法就是根据indexPath来获取Cell所绑定的layoutAtrributes, 然后去更改UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes对象的一些属性并返回
-(UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributesForSupplementaryViewOfKind:(NSString *)elementKind atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
6.该方法是为Header View或者FooterView来定制其对应的UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes
-(UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributesForDecorationViewOfKind:(NSString*)elementKind atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;
UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes常用的属性:
@property (nonatomic) CGRect frame; @property (nonatomic) CGPoint center; @property (nonatomic) CGSize size; @property (nonatomic) CATransform3D transform3D; @property (nonatomic) CGRect bounds NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(7_0); @property (nonatomic) CGAffineTransform transform NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(7_0); @property (nonatomic) CGFloat alpha; @property (nonatomic) NSInteger zIndex; // default is 0 @property (nonatomic, getter=isHidden) BOOL hidden; // As an optimization, UICollectionView might not create a view for items whose hidden attribute is YES
