Why would a UITextView not do the job?  UITextView is already a  
sub-class of UIScrollView,

so all the scrolling behaviour is done for you.

If you really need to 'roll your own', study the NSString UIKit  
Additions Reference API in UIKit.
That describes methods for fitting text into specified rectangles with  
specified fonts

and specified line-breaking modes . . .

Drawing text into a UiView

2009-08-24 Thread J J

Hi, 

I'm trying to write an app that will page through text .. I'm trying to grab 
the text, find out how much with fit on a page, write the text to a view 
(page), then perhaps paginate the pages around it onto other views to be ready 
as needed.
Anyone have any ideas on how this would work ?  I'm having a hard time finding 
examples of writing text to a view directlyI'd love to do it via UIWebView, but 
not sure how I would know how big one page would be
Thanks ...
