Question

I know you can use a text field to display output but there is a limit on the size of the box. I can I display a message to the screen, without using text field? I’m not really finding anything useful so far in a couple books.

I think you can do this using,

CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(context, strokeColor); 
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(context, strokeColor);

CGContextSelectFont(context, "Helvetica", fontSize, kCGEncodingMacRoman);
CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFill);
CGContextSetTextPosition(context, 0.0f, round(fontSize / 4.0f));
CGContextShowText(context, [text UTF8String], strlen([text UTF8String]));
