I was wondering if there was a way to add an outline to a piece of text like a UILabel.
How can I make this happen? I've tried text.layer.borderWidth but that only creates a box around the label frame. I want the outline to be around the individual characters in the label.
Thanks for your time.

I have browsed stack for this so common issue, and have found that there is no default function to add blur effect to UIImage, and in order to make it one would have to manipulate individual pixels... I presume there are many advanced users who have tried and accomplished this. Does anyone have code to this, or some really specific pointers how this should be done?

how to call pin annotation on button click in iphone
Sorry if question is strange. I'm trying to have an image and drop pins on certain parts and name those parts. Anytime I search Image+Iphone+Drp Pins I get MKAnnotationView or at least something that begins with MK. Now I wonder, is MKAnnotationView only for maps or I can use it to display images and drop pins on them as well. If I can, how do I do that. I mean with imageview it's very simple. I can do it with both code and IB. What about MKAnnotationView. Can it be a subview to another view?

How do I wrap text in a UITableViewCell without a custom cell
I've seen at least one application that uses a grouped UITableView with a cell containing paragraphs of text, and the cell is taller or shorter based on the length of the text, but I don't quite get how this is done.
How does one, given a variable width font, figure out how high a UITextField or something needs to be in order to display all of the text contained in it without reducing the point size of the font?
See Apple's documentation about NSString additions for the iPhone to read about which methods to use to calculate these metrics.
