title: What is a modal view?
body: <p>I wanted to do bottom-up or up-bottom animation for settings page. (which would normally be <code>pushViewController</code>)<br>
  And found out that bottom-up can be done with..</p>
  
  <pre><code>- (void)presentModalViewController:(UIViewController *)modalViewController animated:(BOOL)animated;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Some people seem to suggest that you stick to Apple's HIG (Apple surely made left-right animation as default pushViewController) and do not use modal view.  </p>
  
  <p>I wonder what is modal view and wonder what other animations people use for pushing/popping viewController?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
