Create text Stroke for UILabel iphone



I was wondering how can I create text stroke for UILabel in iOS4 ? I need some suggestion . I want something like this :





alt text





EDITED :







UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:222];

CGPoint point = CGPointMake(0,0);



CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();



CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.7);

CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 2, 2, 2, 1.0);

CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFillStroke);

CGContextSaveGState(context);



// I change it to my outlet

[label.text drawAtPoint:point withFont:font];



CGContextRestoreGState(context);

  1. UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial" size:14];
    CGPoint point = CGPointMake(0,0);

    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.7);
    CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
    CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFillStroke);
    CGContextSaveGState(context);
    [@"Label" drawAtPoint:point withFont:font];

    CGContextRestoreGState(context);


    you can look here:

  2. Well, if you want to draw a text in a label with a custom font, like CGFontRef, it is not quite simple. I have googled a little and found a solution for you which implies you to inherit UILabel class and rewrite drawTextInRect method for this. All the necessary information for you is here.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
