I need to write some text rotated by 90 degrees. I first tried with a UILabel rotated with CGAffineTransform:
this.myLabel.Center = this.myLabel.Frame.Location;
this.myLabel.Transform = CGAffineTransform.MakeRotation (-(float)Math.PI / 2.0f);
It rotated it just right, but fonts now look all blurred and difficult to read.
Is there a way to use the CoreText library to make a simple text rotation in a UILabel that doesn’t look blurred?
Thank you in advance!
In case you missed it Xamarin provides a sample on github that use CoreText to draw (non-rotated) text.
Since the text ends up as a path it should not be hard to rotate the whole text. OTOH CoreText is more much complicated than the older API – that’s the price to pay to get (way) more control.
