Quincey: Thanks for a starting point. I spent this afternoon playing around with it some more. Overriding -intrinsicContentSize does result in a correctly sized bounds, but the frame is still invalid and the view contents are still drawn incorrectly. I finally found a simple solution that avoids all the headache of trying to get auto layout to play nicely with a transformed UILabel: I don't apply a transform to the UILabel. Instead I subclass UILabel and override two of its methods: -textRectForBounds:limitedToNumberOfLines: (which -intrinsicContentSize calls) and -drawTextInRect:. - (CGRect) textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds limitedToNumberOfLines:(NSInteger)numberOfLines { CGRect textRect = [super textRectForBounds:bounds limitedToNumberOfLines:numberOfLines]; return CGRectMake(textRect.origin.y, textRect.origin.x, textRect.size.height, textRect.size.width); } - (void) drawTextInRect:(CGRect)rect { CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGRect bounds = self.bounds; CGFloat translateX = bounds.size.width / 2; CGFloat translateY = bounds.size.height / 2; CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity; transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, translateX, translateY); transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, (CGFloat)-M_PI_2); transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, -translateX, -translateY); CGContextSaveGState(context); CGContextConcatCTM(context, transform); rect = CGRectApplyAffineTransform(rect, transform); [super drawTextInRect:rect]; CGContextRestoreGState(context); } _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
