Wrapping Text in a UITextView Around a UIImage WITHOUT CoreText

Is there a way to wrap text from a UITextView around a UIImage without using CoreText?

I have been playing around with attributed strings without much luck, and CoreText just seems extremely complicated so I would rather stay out of it.


Solution 1:

This seems to do the trick:

UIBezierPath * imgRect = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
self.textView.textContainer.exclusionPaths = @[imgRect];

Works only from iOS 7 and up.

Solution 2:

In Swift 4:

self.textView.textContainer.exclusionPaths = [UIBezierPath(rect: imageView.frame)]
