I'm trying to draw text in the centre of shapes in iOS, an example would be Microsoft Office's insert shape see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cgqyyuvy6hcv5g8/Screenshot%202014-01-21%2013.48.17.png
I have an array of coordinates that are used to form the shape, which works fine for creating the actual shape.
My first tactic was following this stackoverflow question: Core Text With Asymmetric Shape on iOS however I can only get it to draw the text at the bottom of the shape. Is there any way to centre the text vertically and horizontally?
I then had a look at the new TextKit but I got stuck with how to subclass NSTextContainer to accept either a CGPath or an array of coordinates to create the text container to draw inside.
My backup solution is to use Core Text to draw the text at the centre coordinate of a shape, however this will cause the text to draw outside of the shape on some shapes such as a right angled triangle.
Alternatively, are there any other methods I could use to get some text somewhat in the centre of a shape?
Thank you,
Danielle.
