I've got a UILabel and I want to make the line spacing less than 0 (so the text moves closer together rather than further away). What am I doing wrong?
UIFont* customFont = [UIFont fontWithName:@"BebasNeue" size:70];
NSString * text = @"Their \nIdeas";
NSMutableAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:text];
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragrahStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
paragrahStyle.lineSpacing = -30;
[attributedString addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName value:paragrahStyle range:NSMakeRange(0, [text length])];
UILabel *lbl1 = [[UILabel alloc] init];
lbl1.frame = CGRectMake(120, 0, viewWidth, 300);
lbl1.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
lbl1.textColor = grayColor;
lbl1.numberOfLines = 2;
lbl1.attributedText = attributedString;
lbl1.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
lbl1.font = customFont;
[view addSubview:lbl1];
[lbl1 setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(0.35)];
Building off of Eric Murphey's answer, I've created an extension in Swift 4 syntax.
extension UILabel{
public func zeroLineSpace(){
let s = NSMutableAttributedString(string: self.text!)
let style = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
let lineHeight = self.font.pointSize - self.font.ascender + self.font.capHeight
let offset = self.font.capHeight - self.font.ascender
let range = NSMakeRange(0, self.text!.count)
style.maximumLineHeight = lineHeight
style.minimumLineHeight = lineHeight
style.alignment = self.textAlignment
s.addAttribute(.paragraphStyle, value: style, range: range)
s.addAttribute(.baselineOffset, value: offset, range: range)
self.attributedText = s
}
}
Simply call it like so
myUiLabel.zeroLineSpace()
