Reduce dot size or padding to fit all page indicators on screen with UIPageControl

Question

I have a UIPageControl that has 22 pages, therefore 22 page indicator dots. In landscape on iPhone they\'re all visible with plenty of space on the left and right,

Answer 1

If you have that many dots, I would seriously consider a different control. But if you want to stick to UIPageControl, I would just scale it down to fit on screen, with something like:

pageControl.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.7, 0.7);

This scales it down to 70% of its initial size - I leave it to you to determine the best scale for your screen size/number of pages.

Answer 2

Swift 3 version code: based on pbasdf answer.

pageControl.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: 0.7, y: 0.7)

Answer 3

You should really not use a UIPageControl for something that has 22 pages. How about trying something like a label that returns a number instead. Will make you app look a lot cleaner.

Although if you REALLY want to use the pageControl, pbasdf's answer is spot on. pageControl.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.8, 0.8) should do the trick.
