I want to show the dotted line in front of the text (Same as Apple default Keypad Label).
Like as (....hi)
For iOS 6 use NSLineBreakByTruncatingHead of NSLineBreakMode.
From the docs:
NSLineBreakByTruncatingHead The line is displayed so that the end fits
in the container and the missing text at the beginning of the line is
indicated by an ellipsis glyph. Although this mode works for multiline
text, it is more often used for single line text.
For iOS < 6 you can use UILineBreakModeHeadTruncation of UILineBreakMode.
Dot will come automatically. if your text is big compare to label size. Then dot will come
automatically.
In Interface Builder: Line Break Mode -> Truncate Head

I am trying to display text over time using altair (vega-lite), which works fine using a layered chart, where one is created using the alt.Chart().mark_text() function to display the text.
The text though is multiple phrases and should be wrapped (with line breaks). How can this be done?
(I do not want to use fixed line breaks, e.g. \n, at distinct positions since the text wrapping should work with zooming too)
Not exactly what you want, but you can specify a character on which to break to a new line. When zooming, the text stays the same size, so it should always fit the view.
For example making a new line for every word:
.mark_text(lineBreak=' ')
Under certain circumstances, UILabel seems to bring an extra word to new line even when there is enough space for it, for example,
If one more word is appended,
Even if I force the width of the label to become something like below, it still moves the word consists of "c"s to the next line,
I've tried twisting the configuration of the UILabel, but seems it behaves the same unless I set the line breaking mode to character wrap, below is the configuration for the above cases,
And the constraints (in the first two cases, the trailing ),
Is there any reason for this particular behaviour and can I fix this? It looks weird in this way leaving that space emptied.
this is the default behavior since iOS 11, to fix orphaned words. No way to shut it off
to fix it
use the text as attributed text
or
use UItextview and turn of the scroll, edit option
or
use the custom label here
Get each line of text in a UILabel
You should set the line break to character wrap, because the letters after the space will be recognized as a word.
Hey I know this is late but I just figured out that you can cheat the system by adding a bunch of spaces at the end of the text.
If text of UILable may be changed, then it's still possible to use quick-dirty hack with "\n" - new line symbol.
Text "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbb cccccccccc\ndddddd" will force UILabel to display:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbb cccccccccc
ddddddd
In Interface Builder new line can be inputted with Ctrl + Enter
If u use wordWrap, it tries to keep words in full form, as a result of this, it goes to next line. If you use character wrap, it will break on characters, and push the chars onto next line.
For Example:-
My name is ABCXXXX and I (have space here)
love myself.
Solution:-
Use NSMutableAttributedText and write love\n. It will make the "love" be in the space myself in the next line.
I'm working on an app that displays lyrics for several hymns in my native language.
Each line of the hymn is an individual Text Widget. I want the text to indent if it got softWrapped if user increases the font size to indicate that its not the next line. How can I achieve this effect?
Adding one or more tab escape characters "\t" to your strings may do the trick for you:
Text("\t this is a text string that will have an indentation",),
What is the swift Equivalent for 'text-align-last' css property?
I prefer a codeless solution.
Here is what i have done and what i get:
The last line (sometimes the only one) is aligned to the left, which is inconvenient.
You need to change the label's text from Plain to Attributed, then you can paste any string and the alignment, as well as other attributes, will hold.
So basically any text style that can create on word processor application can be used here.
In the following example I've used pages (Mac application) to edit the text format as I liked and copied it to the label text box in Xcode.
Here is a picture of the simulator running the app:
While it is not possible to apply different aligns on a single label, if the last(and sometime only) line should be aligned to the right why not align the entire label to the right?
EDIT
If that doesn't fix you problem then I don't think it's possible to resolve without code.
In the case you do decide to write some code you could look into determining which is the last line of your string (maybe: How to get text from nth line of UILabel? ) and try to apply different formatting with AttributedString.
If that works then you can always subclass UILabel and override func layoutSubviews() to calculate this automatically for you. This way you won't have to think about it again!
I have a problem with the size of my text.
When my text is too long in a WKInterfaceLabel, no problem, I just add line or I pass line at 0 to increase automatically the number of lines.
But with WKInterfacePicker, impossible to increase the number of line and I have "..." at the end of my text.
Do you have solutions to display all my text or, at least, to delete this "..." and replace it by some letters more from my text. I work with Swift.
For the second solution, I prefer have "My text" than "My te..."
Sadly, this is not possible. Apple doesn't provide any sort of way on managing that.
A possible, but rather complicated solution would be making a costume picker with labels with multiple lines and using the newly implemented WKCrownSequencer as well as the WKCrownDelegate in watchOS 3 to detect the state of the digital crown. The default picker animations might be impossible or very difficult to reproduce, but it might fix your problem.
