I have a CATextlayer
of a certain size and NSAttributedString
text of unknown length.
I need to adjust the font-size so the text fits the frame (not vice versa :)
Any ideas where to start? :)
[Edit] as nall points out, I can determine the string length, of course, it's some text entered by the user that I need to fit into a box of fixed size.
I ended up doing this:
textlayer
is a CATextlayer
theString
is a NSMutableAttributedString
And yes, it's not very elegant and could definitely be improved ;)
CTFramesetterRef framesetter = CTFramesetterCreateWithAttributedString((__bridge CFAttributedStringRef)theString);
CGRect columnRect = CGRectMake(0, 0 , 320, 150);
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddRect(path, NULL, columnRect);
CTFrameRef frame = CTFramesetterCreateFrame(framesetter, CFRangeMake(0, 0), path, NULL);
CFRange frameRange = CTFrameGetVisibleStringRange(frame);
int fontSize = 18;
while(theString.string.length > frameRange.length){
fontSize--;
CFStringRef fontName = (__bridge CFStringRef)[defs objectForKey:@"font"];
CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithName(fontName, fontSize, NULL);
[theString addAttribute:(NSString *)kCTFontAttributeName
value:(__bridge id)font
range:NSMakeRange(0, theString.string.length)];
CTFramesetterRef framesetter = CTFramesetterCreateWithAttributedString((__bridge CFAttributedStringRef)theString);
CGRect columnRect = CGRectMake(0, 0 , 320, 150);
CGMutablePathRef path = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddRect(path, NULL, columnRect);
CTFrameRef frame = CTFramesetterCreateFrame(framesetter, CFRangeMake(0, 0), path, NULL);
frameRange = CTFrameGetVisibleStringRange(frame);
textLayer.string = theString;
}
