Detailed Description

A Core Animation layer that displays text drawn in a uniform style.

Method Documentation

◆ initWithAttributedText:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithAttributedText: (nullable NSAttributedString *)  newText

Initializes a newly allocated CPTTextLayer object with the provided styled text.

Parameters
newTextThe styled text to display.
Returns
The initialized CPTTextLayer object.

◆ initWithCoder:

- (nullable instancetype) initWithCoder: (nonnull NSCoder *)  coder

Returns an object initialized from data in a given unarchiver.

Parameters
coderAn unarchiver object.
Returns
An object initialized from data in a given unarchiver.

Reimplemented from CPTLayer.

◆ initWithFrame:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithFrame: (CGRect __unused)  newFrame
implementation

Initializes a newly allocated CPTTextLayer object with the provided frame rectangle.

The initialized layer will have the following properties:

Parameters
newFrameThe frame rectangle.
Returns
The initialized CPTTextLayer object.

◆ initWithLayer:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithLayer: (nonnull id layer

Override to copy or initialize custom fields of the specified layer.

Parameters
layerThe layer from which custom fields should be copied.
Returns
A layer instance with any custom instance variables copied from layer.

Reimplemented from CPTLayer.

◆ initWithText:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithText: (nullable NSString *)  newText

Initializes a newly allocated CPTTextLayer object with the provided text and the default text style.

Parameters
newTextThe text to display.
Returns
The initialized CPTTextLayer object.

◆ initWithText:style:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithText: (nullable NSString *)  newText
style: (nullable CPTTextStyle *)  newStyle 

Initializes a newly allocated CPTTextLayer object with the provided text and style. This is the designated initializer.

Parameters
newTextThe text to display.
newStyleThe text style used to draw the text.
Returns
The initialized CPTTextLayer object.

◆ sizeThatFits

- (CGSize) sizeThatFits

Determine the minimum size needed to fit the text.

◆ sizeToFit

- (void) sizeToFit

Resizes the layer to fit its contents leaving a narrow margin on all four sides.

Property Documentation

◆ attributedText

- (nullable NSAttributedString *) attributedText
readwritenonatomiccopy

The styled text to display.

Assigning a new value to this property also sets the value of the text property to the same string, without formatting information. It also replaces the textStyle with a style matching the first position (location 0) of the styled text. Insert newline characters ('\n') at the line breaks to display multi-line text.

◆ maximumSize

- (CGSize) maximumSize
readwritenonatomicassign

The maximum size of the layer. The default is {0.0, 0.0}.

A text layer will size itself to fit its text drawn with its text style unless it exceeds this size. If the width and/or height of this size is less than or equal to zero (0.0), no size limit will be enforced in the corresponding dimension. The maximum layer size includes any padding applied to the layer.

◆ text

- (nullable NSString *) text
readwritenonatomiccopy

The text to display.

Assigning a new value to this property also sets the value of the attributedText property to nil. Insert newline characters ('\n') at the line breaks to display multi-line text.

◆ textStyle

- (nullable CPTTextStyle *) textStyle
readwritenonatomicstrong

The text style used to draw the text.

Assigning a new value to this property also sets the value of the attributedText property to nil.
