iOS7 and later, we can use - (void)drawWithRect:(CGRect)rect options:(NSStringDrawingOptions)options attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes context:(NSStringDrawingContext *)context
to calculate the string size, but I'm confused with the comments on NSStringDrawingOptions
enum.
NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
It means specified origin is the line fragment origin, not the base line origin. But what mean of line fragment origin and baseline origin.
Just like the WWDC 2013 Session 220 (Advanced Text Layouts and Effects with Text Kit) PDF on Page 95.
If line fragment origin mean the blue dot, what the baseline origin?
From the official documentation
Discussion
If NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin is specified in
options, it wraps the string text as needed to make it fit. If the
string is too big to fit completely inside the rectangle, the method
scales the font or adjusts the letter spacing to make the string fit
within the given bounds.
If NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin is not specified in options,
the origin of the rectangle is the baseline of the only line. The text
will be displayed above the rectangle and not inside of it. For
example, if you specify a rectangle starting at 0,0 and draw the
string ‘juxtaposed’, only the descenders of the ‘j’ and ‘p’ will be
seen. The rest of the text will be on the top edge of the rectangle.
This method draws the line using the attributes specified in the
attributed string itself. If newline characters are present in the
string, those characters are honored and cause subsequent text to be
placed on the next line underneath the starting point.
Special Considerations This method uses the baseline origin by
default, so it renders the string as a single line. To render the
string in multiple lines, specify
NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin in options.
