Arrange UILabels along circle

Question

I have several UILabels which I would like to arrange in a half-circle, i.e. the left-most would be rotated 90deg counterclockwise, the middle one moved up and is not rotated, the right-most is rotated 90 clockwise.

Any ideas on the best practise to achieve this? Or is better to draw the text in the view and forget about UILabels?

Answer 1

You're right - forget about UILabels and draw the text in the view.

Answer 2
