ClearTextLabel is a UILabel subclass that creates a label with see-through text.
- iOS 6.0 or later
- CoreFoundation.framework
- CoreText.framework
- QuartzCore.framework
- ARC (either project is ARC or ClearTextLabel is compiled with
-fobjc-arc)
Using ClearTextLabel is as simple as using regular UILabel :
ClearTextLabel* objCTLbl = [[ClearTextLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 100, 280, 368)];
objCTLbl.text = @"Can this be drawn with transparency ?";
[self.view addSubview:objCTLbl];
ClearTextLabel draws the text provided to it with transparency.
- It uses CoreGraphics Context to draw the letters' CGPath.
- Letters' CGPath, how ? Well what's CoreText there for ?
