Contenting deprecated sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize to boundingRectWithSize:options:attributes:context:

Question

How can I convert

 CGSize labelHeighSize = [text sizeWithFont: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16] constrainedToSize:maximumSize lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncat         


        

Answer 1

First of all the method:

 - (CGRect)   boundingRectWithSize:(CGSize)size 
                           options:(NSStringDrawingOptions)options 
                        attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes 
                           context:(NSStringDrawingContext *)context;

returns CGRect not the CGSize so you need to use CGRect.

EDIT according to apple docs see here, it says

This option is ignored if NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin is not also set. In addition, the line break mode must be either NSLineBreakByWordWrapping or NSLineBreakByCharWrapping for this option to take effect. The line break mode can be specified in a paragraph style passed in the attributes dictionary argument of the drawing methods.

Below is the sample code that you can use:

NSString *text = @"Some text to measure";
UIFont *labelFont = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16];

NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc]init];
//set the line break mode
paragraphStyle.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping; 

NSDictionary *attrDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:labelFont,
                                       NSFontAttributeName,
                                       paragraphStyle,
                                       NSParagraphStyleAttributeName,
                                       nil];


//assume your maximumSize contains {255, MAXFLOAT}     
CGRect lblRect = [text boundingRectWithSize:(CGSize){225, MAXFLOAT} 
                                    options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
                                 attributes:attrDict 
                                    context:nil];
CGSize labelHeighSize = lblRect.size;
