Is there a way / subclass to create a curved UILabel , and change it's angle dynamically, while keeping all it's properties ? ( like bending it to fit a circle)

The only example I found was to create it once, and it didn't really understood how to put it to work as a regular UILabel with all it's properties :

Draw text along circular path in Swift for iOS

I was looking for something like :

let label = UILabel ....
label.font...
label.text...
label.bendAngle ...

Subclass `UILabel` and override `-drawTextInRect:`. – Christian Schnorr Jul 06 '17 at 16:51
You can't do that with a `UILabel`. But you can create your own custom view that draws text like that. – Sweeper Jul 06 '17 at 16:51
That's the question, so how would I ? – Curnelious Jul 06 '17 at 16:52
The second answer in the post you mentioned tells you how to do that. It's an IBDesignable label subclass. – Sweeper Jul 06 '17 at 16:54

@Curnelious You linked an answer which does the curved drawing already. Just call out to that function from `-drawTextInRect:`. – Christian Schnorr Jul 06 '17 at 16:54
I see. Ok I will investigate. thanks a lot. – Curnelious Jul 06 '17 at 16:55
