Animate a change in UIFont size

Question

Is there a way to animate a change in the font size of some text. I was thinking to call drawRect from a subclass of UIView and draw the text at different sizes.

Answer 1

You can animate the transform on any UIView including labels.

[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil];
label.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.5,1.5);
[UIView commitAnimations];

That will scale the text up to 150%. It may become blocky if you make it too big.
