How can I both stroke and fill with NSAttributedString w/ UILabel
Now Latest in swift apple remove the [String: Any] for attributes key value declaration use as [NSAttributedStringKey : Any]
let strokeTextAttributes = [
NSAttributedStringKey.strokeColor : UIColor.green,
NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor : UIColor.lightGray,
NSAttributedStringKey.strokeWidth : -4.0,
NSAttributedStringKey.font : UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 52)
] as [NSAttributedStringKey : Any]
hello_cell_lb.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "\(hello_array[indexPath.row])", attributes: strokeTextAttributes)
thank you
Yes, the key is to apply a Negative value to the NSStrokeWidthAttributeName
If this value is positive you will only see the stroke and not the fill.
Objective-C:
self.label.attributedText=[[NSAttributedString alloc]
initWithString:@"string to both stroke and fill"
attributes:@{
NSStrokeWidthAttributeName: @-3.0,
NSStrokeColorAttributeName:[UIColor yellowColor],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor redColor]
}
];

Swift 4 version:
let attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey : Any] = [.strokeWidth: -3.0,
.strokeColor: UIColor.yellow,
.foregroundColor: UIColor.red]
label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: text, attributes: attributes)
Swift 5.1 version:
let attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key : Any] = [.strokeWidth: -3.0,
.strokeColor: UIColor.yellow,
.foregroundColor: UIColor.red]
label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: text, attributes: attributes)
Swift version:
let attributes = [NSStrokeWidthAttributeName: -3.0,
NSStrokeColorAttributeName: UIColor.yellowColor(),
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.redColor()];
label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "string to both stroke and fill", attributes: attributes)
Swift 3 version:
let attributes = [NSStrokeWidthAttributeName: -3.0,
NSStrokeColorAttributeName: UIColor.yellow,
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red] as [String : Any]
label.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: "string to both stroke and fill", attributes: attributes)
