Text not vertically centered in UILabel
I've created a Label with the following code :
func setupValueLabel() {
valueLabel.numberOfLines = 1
valueLabel.font = UIFont(name: "Avenir-Black", size: 50)
valueLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
valueLabel.clipsToBounds = true
valueLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()
valueLabel.textColor = valuesColor
valueLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
}
I don't really understand why but the label is not vertically centered :
Do I have to do anything specific so it can be centered ?
The problem is that font size is shrunk by adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true
, but it does not adjust the lineHeight
automatically. It remains to be for original font size that is 50
.
By default, the text is aligned to its baseline. you can adjust it with baselineAdjustment
property.
In your case, you should set it to UIBaselineAdjustment.alignCenters
.
valueLabel.baselineAdjustment = .alignCenters
Thanks to @rintaro, it works finally.
One more thing for my case, it didn't work because I was setting ByWordWrapping
. I had to set lineBreakMode
as ByClipping
.
