How to get the width and height of a string knowing its font size in iPhone?

Question

I want to know if there is any way to determine the width and height of a string depending on the font name and font size used?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Have a look at the sizeWithFont: method. That should be helpful. Depending on what your exact needs are, you can choose any one of the sister methods too.

Answer 2

You can use

– sizeWithFont:  
– sizeWithFont:forWidth:lineBreakMode:  
– sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:  
– sizeWithFont:constrainedToSize:lineBreakMode:  
– sizeWithFont:minFontSize:actualFontSize:forWidth:lineBreakMode:
