CATextlayer change size of FONT to fit the frame
I achieved it by doing this:
float fontSize = InitialFontSize;
UIFont *myFont = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fontSize];
CGSize myFontSize = [YourTextHere sizeWithFont:myFont];
while (myFontSize.width >= MaximunWidth) {
fontSize -= 0.1f;
myFont = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fontSize];
myFontSize = [YourTextHere sizeWithFont:myFont];
}
CATextLayer *textLayer = [CATextLayer layer];
[textLayer setFrame:CGRectMake(MaximunWidth - myFontSize.width / 2, MaximunHeight - myFontSize.height / 2, myFontSize.width, myFontSize.height)];
[textLayer setFontSize:fontSize];
[textLayer setString:YourTextHere];
[textLayer setAlignmentMode:kCAAlignmentCenter];
Working for Swift 5 clean solution.
1) Extend String
extension String {
func size(OfFont font: UIFont) -> CGSize {
return (self as NSString).size(withAttributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.font: font])
}
}
2) Subclass the CATextLayer
class DynamicTextLayer : CATextLayer {
var adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = false
override func layoutSublayers() {
super.layoutSublayers()
if adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth {
fitToFrame()
}
}
func fitToFrame(){
// Calculates the string size.
var stringSize: CGSize {
get { return (string as? String)!.size(OfFont: UIFont(name: (font as! UIFont).fontName, size: fontSize)!) }
}
// Adds inset from the borders. Optional
let inset: CGFloat = 2
// Decreases the font size until criteria met
while frame.width < stringSize.width + inset {
fontSize -= 1
}
}
}
3) Now go to your code and instead of CATextLayer use DynamicTextLayer
textLayer = DynamicTextLayer()
textLayer?.alignmentMode = .center
textLayer?.fontSize = 40
textLayer?.string = "Example"
textLayer?.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
