Displaying text on a UILabel in digital form?

Question

How can we display text in digital format(seven segment display) on a UILabel similar to the way as text is displayed in Digital Clock.

Answer 1

Simple approach: use a custom font.

Here's a UILabel subclass that allows you to embed custom fonts in your application: http://github.com/zynga/FontLabel

Here are a whole bunch of fonts that look like digital clocks: http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=302 (be sure to read the licensing information for whatever font you choose)

Answer 2

With UILabel your best bet is a font that does what you need. Most likely you will have to implement drawing part by yourself. It will not be easy what your are asking.

Answer 3

For simple you can also use Apple recommended font.

label.font=[UIFont fontWithName:@"DBLCDTempBlack" size:60.0];
