Drawing text at an angle.

[noobAppDeveloper]

Does anyone know how to draw text at an angle? It's usually drawn horizontally but I would like to have it be at about 30 degree downwards slant. Thanks.

You could just use a image...

if the text needs to change I imagine you could just make images for each letter and swap them out.

it would be a PITA but it's possible.

Oh, please, no. There's no need to kluge it with an image.

Simply set the transform property of the label to the angle you need. First, here's a macro for converting from degrees to radians. The function we're going to use in a minute requires radians, but I don't think in radians, so I use this:

#define degreesToRadian(x) (M_PI * x / 180.0)

Now, just do this:

myLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadian(43));

Just change 43 to whatever angle you want. You may need to adjust the x and y location after you do this to make it fit nicely.
