I have an issue when setting minimum font size on my UILabels. As you can see the shadow isn't following along with the font size. It's supposed to be just 1 px heigh.
My label:
My settings:
Turn off "Tighten Letter Spacing".
There seems to be a bug with shadows, auto shrinking, and auto tightening.
Set the shadow.offset programmatically based on font size.
You have set the Value 12 Below the Minimum Font Size you can't set this value its Too large pass it like 0.5 or 0.8 something Like that.
Secondly your Vertical Shadow Offset is 1 so there is no chance to take that much of shadow It may be possible that you have passed shadow through Code please check it first.
When you check it in xib File while changing at that time if its not change that just reopen the Window than It'll Work.
Hope this will Help.

In my case UILabel size can change dynamical . If it is bigger I want to have the best fitting, biggest font size. Is it possible to set it in Storyboard or I need calculate the best one programmatically?
If you have more than 1 word in the label, you can set a very high font size and, set AutoShrink -> Minimum Font Size to a small size. Then in run time app will auto shrink to maximum possible font size. But this doesn't work for if you only have a single word.
I have a UILabel (as highlighted in yellow), which has the following conditions applied to it.
Label has variable text length
Font set to 40
Minimum font-size set to 20
Number of lines set to 3
Although this looks like a duplicated question I believe it is not. The issue I am having is that when the text exceeds the available 3 line length after being sized-down to 20 points, the UILabel's bounding box is sized incorrectly (i.e. note the extraneous spacing above and below the text).
The end result should be a UILabel without any spacing. Is there are solution to this, while keeping the number of lines set to 3?
That looks like a bug. If you increase your base font size, you will see the space increase. Also, if you inspect the layout at runtime, you will see the content size to be calculated as too big.
My guess is, UILabel takes your original font size (40) to calculate the content size for 3 lines of text and does not take into account that the font size has already been decreased before truncation.
I fiddled with content hugging/compression priorities but could not make it work either.
The only workaround I found was to manually set the font size down to 20. That will get you the frame you want.
I'm aware of minimumScaleFactor but it isn't useful for the result I'm after.
I have two UILabels and I want them both to be the same size. I want them to fit to the label's view if possible down to a minimum size and then I'll do a check to set them both to the smallest font size, so that they both fit and are both the same size.
I don't think I can achieve this using minimumScaleFactor because it doesn't seem to actually change the font size, it seems to use some sort of scaling on the view (correct me if I'm wrong). I don't seem to be able to set this scale manually other than setting it's minimum value so it seems to be useless in my circumstances.
Set max_msg_height that you want in your cell. This function will check if your message length is more than max_mgs_height and font size and if it is greater than 12 points, it will continue. In my case i have set max_msg_height = 160. Default font size to 16. So, if I got message which is not adjust in lable frame then I reduce font by 1 point by using this while loop as shown below:
while (messageLbl.frame.size.height > max_msg_height &&
messageLbl.font.pointSize>12) {
messageLbl.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:messageLbl.font.pointSize-1];
[messageLbl sizeToFit];
}
I have multiple labels in the storyboard using the any X any Resolution as follows:
Now I have added constraints to the best of my knowledge to force the labels to reposition when an iphone simulator is used and the following happens.
What I would like to happen is have the labels remain the same distance apart from each other proportionally and just resize their font size. So If we were to divide the Iphone screen into thirds Days would occupy the first 3rd, months the 2nd, and Years the 3rd. I thought maybe using aspect ratio for constraints would work but I got the same effect of the labels bunching on top of each other. It looks like they maintain the constraint of distance from the edges but they wont resize themselves to keep the ratio.
Thanks
If you want to keep same distance between each of them, one way of achieving it is:
Give all of them equal widths constraint. and set leading and trailing constraint to zero. Align all labels to centre horizontally.
This way, you wont need to change the font size..
But, however, if you still want to change font, go to attributed inspector for label and under auto shrink: change fixed font size to minimum font size and set it to appropriate value, say 14.
I have a UILabel which autoresizes along with its parent view. The label has AdjustsFontSizeToWidth turned on and has a minimum text size of 0 - so basically it tries to fit all the text into whatever size the UILabel is.
The problem I am having is that vertically the text gets cut off. So yes, the label is adjusting its font size to the width of the label but the text is too tall for the label and thus some of the text is getting cut off.
Is there anyway to work around this so that all of the text, the full height and full width are shown?
I attach an image to show what I mean. The red box is the parent view, the purple box is the UILabel.
Thanks for your help.
What you are adjusting automatically is the Width and not the Height. The Height is something you'll have to adjust manually based on the maximum font size you will use. If the maximum (assigned initial) font size fits in height, so will the smaller one's do, after they are automatically adjusted
I suspect that Lefteris is right, that minimum text size focuses on font size for the width of the control. Note, though, if you want it to resize the font to fit, you want a non-zero minFontSize. See minimizeFontSize notes. Also check out the various NSString UIKit Additions that can be used to get the size of the control necessary to fit your text, and programmatically adjust the size (i.e. the frame) your UILabel accordingly.
In my case there was a bogus vertical centering of a view under the labels being clipped and squashed. That somehow took priority over compression resistance priority of 1000 for the labels. No warning on console about conflict though. But the view debugger was of some help.
