Is there a way to draw UILabel diagonally?

Question

How do you draw text on a diagonal? In other words, a horizontal UILabel that's rotated, say, 45 degrees?

Answer 1

You can .transform the label, e.g.

theLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 4);   // pi/4 = 45 degrees.

Answer 2

// rotate 45 degrees
label.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 4);

You may want to do this before adding the label to its parent view.

Answer 3

You can use a CGAffineTransform to rotate the view.

myLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation((45*M_PI) / 180);
