UISegmentedControl with Image and Title

Question

I am using a UISegmentedControl inside a UIToolBar as button. I can\'t use a normal UIButtonBarItem, because I need to set the t

Swift 3

extension UIImage{


class func textEmbededImage(image: UIImage, string: String, color:UIColor, imageAlignment: Int = 0, segFont: UIFont? = nil) -> UIImage {
    let font = segFont ?? UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16.0)
    let expectedTextSize: CGSize = (string as NSString).size(attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font])
    let width: CGFloat = expectedTextSize.width + image.size.width + 5.0
    let height: CGFloat = max(expectedTextSize.height, image.size.width)
    let size: CGSize = CGSize(width: width, height: height)
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
    let context: CGContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
    context.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
    let fontTopPosition: CGFloat = (height - expectedTextSize.height) / 2.0
    let textOrigin: CGFloat = (imageAlignment == 0) ? image.size.width + 5 : 0
    let textPoint: CGPoint = CGPoint.init(x: textOrigin, y: fontTopPosition)        
    string.draw(at: textPoint, withAttributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font])
    let flipVertical: CGAffineTransform = CGAffineTransform(a: 1, b: 0, c: 0, d: -1, tx: 0, ty: size.height)
    context.concatenate(flipVertical)
    let alignment: CGFloat =  (imageAlignment == 0) ? 0.0 : expectedTextSize.width + 5.0
    context.draw(image.cgImage!, in: CGRect.init(x: alignment, y: ((height - image.size.height) / 2.0), width: image.size.width, height: image.size.height))
    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return newImage!

For Swift.

segFont is the font for the embedded text.

imageAlignment is the alignment of the image appearing left or right of the text.

set imageAlignment to 0 for left alignment (image will appear to the left of the text) and 1 for right alignment (image will appear to the right of the text)

class func textEmbededImage(image: UIImage, string: String, color:UIColor, imageAlignment: Int = 0, segFont: UIFont? = nil) -> UIImage {

let font = segFont ?? UIFont.systemFontOfSize(16.0)

let expectedTextSize: CGSize = (string as NSString).sizeWithAttributes([NSFontAttributeName: font])

let width: CGFloat = expectedTextSize.width + image.size.width + 5.0

let height: CGFloat = max(expectedTextSize.height, image.size.width)

let size: CGSize = CGSizeMake(width, height)

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)

let context: CGContextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!

CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, color.CGColor)

let fontTopPosition: CGFloat = (height - expectedTextSize.height) / 2.0

let textOrigin: CGFloat = (imageAlignment == 0) ? image.size.width + 5 : 0
let textPoint: CGPoint = CGPointMake(textOrigin, fontTopPosition)


string.drawAtPoint(textPoint, withAttributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font])
let flipVertical: CGAffineTransform = CGAffineTransformMake(1, 0, 0, -1, 0, size.height)
CGContextConcatCTM(context, flipVertical)

let alignment: CGFloat =  (imageAlignment == 0) ? 0.0 : expectedTextSize.width + 5.0
CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(alignment, ((height - image.size.height) / 2.0), image.size.width, image.size.height), image.CGImage)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

return newImage
}

You can do it:

add category for UIImage:

in UIImage+UISegmentIconAndText.h

@interface UIImage (UISegmentIconAndText)

+ (id) imageFromImage:(UIImage*)image string:(NSString*)string color:(UIColor*)color;
+ (id) imageFromImage:(UIImage*)image string:(NSString*)string color:(UIColor*)color position:(NSString*)position;

@end

in UIImage+UISegmentIconAndText.m

#import "UIImage+UISegmentIconAndText.h"

@implementation UIImage (UISegmentIconAndText)
+ (id) imageFromImage:(UIImage*)image string:(NSString*)string color:(UIColor*)color
{
    UIFont *font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16.0];
    CGSize expectedTextSize = [string sizeWithAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: font}];
    int width = expectedTextSize.width + image.size.width + 5;
    int height = MAX(expectedTextSize.height, image.size.width);
    CGSize size = CGSizeMake((float)width, (float)height);
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, 0);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, color.CGColor);
    int fontTopPosition = (height - expectedTextSize.height) / 2;
    CGPoint textPoint = CGPointMake(image.size.width + 5, fontTopPosition);

    [string drawAtPoint:textPoint withAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: font}];
    // Images upside down so flip them
    CGAffineTransform flipVertical = CGAffineTransformMake(1, 0, 0, -1, 0, size.height);
    CGContextConcatCTM(context, flipVertical);
    CGContextDrawImage(context, (CGRect){ {0, (height - image.size.height) / 2}, {image.size.width, image.size.height} }, [image CGImage]);
    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return newImage;
}
@end

in your code implement Segment:

UIImage *imageWithText = [UIImage imageFromImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"images/jobaids_tab_icon"] string:@"Hello", nil) color:[UIColor whiteColor]];

[_segmentedController setImage:imageWithText forSegmentAtIndex:0];

try this:

UISegmentedControl* searchButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"", nil]];
[searchButton insertSegmentWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"up_button.png"] atIndex:0 animated:YES];
[searchButton insertSegmentWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"down_button.png"] atIndex:1 animated:YES];
searchButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
searchButton.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.27 green:0.60 blue:0.20 alpha:1.00];
[searchButton setMomentary:YES];

For those of us who like to use modern API wherever it is possible:

extension UIImage {
    static func textEmbeded(image: UIImage,
                           string: String,
                isImageBeforeText: Bool,
                          segFont: UIFont? = nil) -> UIImage {
        let font = segFont ?? UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
        let expectedTextSize = (string as NSString).size(withAttributes: [.font: font])
        let width = expectedTextSize.width + image.size.width + 5
        let height = max(expectedTextSize.height, image.size.width)
        let size = CGSize(width: width, height: height)

        let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size)
        return renderer.image { context in
            let fontTopPosition: CGFloat = (height - expectedTextSize.height) / 2
            let textOrigin: CGFloat = isImageBeforeText
                ? image.size.width + 5
                : 0
            let textPoint: CGPoint = CGPoint.init(x: textOrigin, y: fontTopPosition)
            string.draw(at: textPoint, withAttributes: [.font: font])
            let alignment: CGFloat = isImageBeforeText
                ? 0
                : expectedTextSize.width + 5
            let rect = CGRect(x: alignment,
                              y: (height - image.size.height) / 2,
                          width: image.size.width,
                         height: image.size.height)
            image.draw(in: rect)
        }
    }
