Instance Attribute Details

- (NSTextAlignment) alignment

The text alignment of the receiver. Natural text alignment is realized as left or right alignment depending on the line sweep direction of the first script contained in the paragraph. For a list of alignment constants, see the “Constants” section of NSString UIKit Additions Reference.

Returns:

  • (NSTextAlignment)

- (NSWritingDirection) baseWritingDirection

The base writing direction for the receiver. If you specify NSWritingDirectionNaturalDirection, the receiver resolves the writing direction to either NSWritingDirectionLeftToRight or NSWritingDirectionRightToLeft, depending on the direction for the user’s language preference setting.

Returns:

  • (NSWritingDirection)

- (Float) firstLineHeadIndent

The indentation of the first line of the receiver. This property contains the distance (in points) from the leading margin of a text container to the beginning of the paragraph’s first line. This value is always nonnegative.

Returns:

- (Float) headIndent

The indentation of the receiver’s lines other than the first. This property contains the distance (in points) from the leading margin of a text container to the beginning of lines other than the first. This value is always nonnegative.

Returns:

- (Float) hyphenationFactor

The paragraph’s threshold for hyphenation. Valid values lie between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive. The default value is 0.0. Hyphenation is attempted when the ratio of the text width (as broken without hyphenation) to the width of the line fragment is less than the hyphenation factor. When the paragraph’s hyphenation factor is 0.0, the layout manager’s hyphenation factor is used instead. When both are 0.0, hyphenation is disabled.

Returns:

- (NSLineBreakMode) lineBreakMode

The mode that should be used to break lines in the receiver. This property contains the line break mode to be used laying out the paragraph’s text. For a list of line break constants, see the “Constants” section of NSParagraphStyle Class Reference.

Returns:

  • (NSLineBreakMode)

- (Float) lineHeightMultiple

The line height multiple. The natural line height of the receiver is multiplied by this factor (if positive) before being constrained by minimum and maximum line height. The default value of this property is 0.0.

Returns:

- (Float) lineSpacing

The space between lines in the receiver (commonly known as leading). This property contains the space in points added between lines within the paragraph. This value must be nonnegative

Returns:

- (Float) maximumLineHeight

The receiver’s maximum line height. This property contains the maximum height in points that any line in the receiver will occupy, regardless of the font size or size of any attached graphic. This value is always nonnegative. The default value is 0.Glyphs and graphics exceeding this height will overlap neighboring lines; however, a maximum height of 0 implies no line height limit. Although this limit applies to the line itself, line spacing adds extra space between adjacent lines.

Returns:

- (Float) minimumLineHeight

The receiver’s minimum height. This property contains the minimum height in points that any line in the receiver will occupy, regardless of the font size or size of any attached graphic. This value must be nonnegative.

Returns:

- (Float) paragraphSpacing

The space after the end of the paragraph. This property contains the space (measured in points) added at the end of the paragraph to separate it from the following paragraph. This value must be nonnegative. The space between paragraphs is determined by adding the previous paragraph’s paragraphSpacing and the current paragraph’s paragraphSpacingBefore.

Returns:

- (Float) paragraphSpacingBefore

The distance between the paragraph’s top and the beginning of its text content. This property contains the space (measured in points) between the paragraph’s top and the beginning of its text content. The default value of this property is 0.0.

Returns:

- (Float) tailIndent

The trailing indentation of the receiver. If positive, this value is the distance from the leading margin (for example, the left margin in left-to-right text). If 0 or negative, it’s the distance from the trailing margin.For example, a paragraph style designed to fit exactly in a 2-inch wide container has a head indent of 0.0 and a tail indent of 0.0. One designed to fit with a quarter-inch margin has a head indent of 0.25 and a tail indent of –0.25.

Returns:
