Core Text examples for iPhone/iPad

Question

I am looking for a Core Text example for iphone/ipad but with little luck. Any leads would be appreciated.

Solution 1

I have written a small project on Github that provides an Objective-C wrapper for Core Text: https://github.com/akosma/CoreTextWrapper In particular, it takes any string and renders it over multiple pages, with multiple columns each page. Hope it helps!

Solution 2

You can find an example of column layout tweaked to work with iPhone/iPad here: http://foobarpig.com/iphone/coretext-example-column-layout-with-correctly-inverted-text.html

Solution 3

I implemented a class named OHAttributedLabel to create a UILabel that can draw NSAttributedString. This class uses CoreText for the whole rendering part, you can use this as a start if needed.

Solution 4

Core Text is a public framework on the Mac OS X. Any examples that work on the Mac, should be usable on the iPhone/iPad too.

See Core Text Programming Guide: Common Operations.
