Instance Attribute Details

- (String) alignmentMode

Determines how individual lines of text are horizontally aligned within the receiver’s bounds. The possible values are described in “Horizontal alignment modes”. Defaults to kCAAlignmentNatural.

Returns:

- (CFTypeRef) font

The font used to render the receiver’s text. May be either a CTFontRef, a CGFontRef, an instance of NSFont (OS X only), or a string naming the font. In iOS, you cannot assign a UIFont object to this property. Defaults to Helvetica. The font property is only used when the string property is not an NSAttributedString.Note: If the font property is a CTFontRef, a CGFontRef, or an instance of NSFont, the font size of the property is ignored.

Returns:

  • (CFTypeRef)

- (Float) fontSize

The font size used to render the receiver’s text. Animatable. Defaults to 36.0.The fontSize property is only used when the string property is not an NSAttributedString.Note: Implicit animation of this property is only enabled in applications compiled for OS X v10.6 and later.

Returns:

- (CGColorRef) foregroundColor

The color used to render the receiver’s text. Animatable. Defaults to opaque white.The foregroundColor property is only used when the string property is not an NSAttributedString.Note: Implicit animation of this property is only enabled in applications compiled for OS X v10.6 and later.

Returns:

  • (CGColorRef)

- (Object) string

The text to be rendered by the receiver. The text must be an instance of NSString or NSAttributedString. Defaults to nil.

Returns:

- (String) truncationMode

Determines how the text is truncated to fit within the receiver’s bounds. The possible values are described in “Truncation modes”. Defaults to kCATruncationNone.

Returns:

- (Boolean) wrapped

Determines whether the text is wrapped to fit within the receiver’s bounds. Defaults to NO.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
