Re: Drawing text like Lion's Mail
Andre,
I was digging through some old code and found this method I wrote awhile ago.
I remember basing this off of a blog post or email thread but I don't remember
the original source. I used this for something real quick so the code is not
perfect but may be a good starting point to get what you need. Essentially you
draw the string into an offscreen bitmap context and then use that to apply a
mask. You can then draw a gradient which gives the text a nice gradient. The
problem with this code is that it applies the gradient to the entire rect that
you are passing so if your text is smaller than your rect you might not get the
results you expect; this should be easy to fix though. Note that this is a
category on NSString. I hope this helps.
Chase
- (void)drawInRect:(NSRect)rect withAttributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes
andGradient:(NSGradient *)gradient;
{
NSMutableDictionary *maskAttrs;
if (attributes != nil)
maskAttrs = [[attributes mutableCopy] autorelease];
else
maskAttrs = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
NSRect maskRect = NSMakeRect(0, 0, rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
[maskAttrs setValue:[NSColor whiteColor]
forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
[maskAttrs setValue:[NSColor blackColor]
forKey:NSBackgroundColorAttributeName];
CGColorSpaceRef grayScale = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceGray();
CGContextRef maskContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, rect.size.width,
rect.size.height, 8, rect.size.width, grayScale, 0);
CGColorSpaceRelease(grayScale);
// Draw the text into an offscreen context
NSGraphicsContext *maskGraphicsContext = [NSGraphicsContext
graphicsContextWithGraphicsPort:maskContext flipped:NO];
[NSGraphicsContext saveGraphicsState];
[NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:maskGraphicsContext];
[self drawInRect:maskRect withAttributes:maskAttrs];
[NSGraphicsContext restoreGraphicsState];
CGImageRef alphaMask = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(maskContext);
CGContextRef ctx = [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext] graphicsPort];
// Draw the gradient clipped by the mask of the text
CGContextSaveGState(ctx);
CGContextClipToMask(ctx, NSRectToCGRect(rect), alphaMask);
CGFloat angle = -90;
[gradient drawInRect:rect angle:angle];
CGContextRestoreGState(ctx);
CGImageRelease(alphaMask);

If you just need the text outlines for clipping, then you should be able to use the Text Drawing mode of the context. By setting it to kCGText*Clip, the clipping region is set to that of the text after it is "drawn". Unfortunately there is no simple way to get the path this way if it is what you need (at least not that I can tell). CTFontCreatePathForGlyph() is one way to go about it, and I think a combination of NSLayoutManager and NSBezierPath can also do it, although I believe you have to subclass NSLayoutManager to do so (I haven't done this, but I recall Aki Inoue outlining it to me a long time ago). If you are already using NSLayoutManager this would probably be the way to go since your metrics won't change as much going this route. -- David Duncan ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

My bad. So I guess the only way to get the path is to use CTFontCreatePathForGlyph() on each glyph and using other CT methods to get there positions.

Ah, then that's the way to go! Thanks Jean-Daniel. The image I created used as background a gray ~79% (RGB 201/255). Then, the shadow can be applied in a 115º angle or so, 1px distant and size of 3 px. 115º in x,y coordinates after a rough calculation gives 0.422 and 0.906 (sin and cos of 65º). Also, the color used to produce the shadow was a gray 25%. The result is pretty similar. > > Le 8 août 2011 à 02:22, Andre Masse a écrit : > >> Interesting.

Re: Drawing text like Lion's Mail
I think you can create a CGPath from some text using CTFrameGetPath(). Once you get the path, you can do whatever you want (clipping, shadow, gradient, …).

Drawing text like Lion's Mail
Hi,
In the new Mail, when there's no selection, the detail's view show "No Message
Selected" in an what seems to be embossed text. My various attempts to emulate
that, have failed. Well it kinda work but it's a bit ugly.
Here's what I've done:
- (BOOL)isFlipped
{
return YES;
}
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)dirtyRect
{
[[NSColor whiteColor] set];
[NSBezierPath fillRect:[self bounds]];
[[NSColor grayColor] set];
[NSBezierPath strokeRect:[self bounds]];
// draw image
CGFloat imgW = [banner size].width;
CGFloat imgH = [banner size].height;
CGFloat centerX = [self bounds].size.width / 2.0f;
CGFloat centerY = [self bounds].size.height /2.0f;
CGFloat x = centerX - (imgW / 2.0f);
CGFloat y = centerY - (imgH / 2.0f);
NSRect rectToDraw = NSMakeRect(x, y, imgW, imgH);
NSRect imgRect = NSMakeRect(0.0f, 0.0f, imgW, imgH);
[banner drawInRect:rectToDraw fromRect:imgRect operation:NSCompositeCopy
fraction:1.0];
// draw text
CGFloat fontSize = 18.0f;
NSString *fontName = @"Helvetica";
NSString *message = @"No Message Selected";
CGFloat offset = 1.0f;
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSFont fontWithName:fontName size:fontSize],
NSFontAttributeName,
[NSColor grayColor],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
nil];
NSAttributedString * currentText=[[NSAttributedString alloc]
initWithString:message attributes: attributes];
CGFloat textW = [currentText size].width;
NSPoint textPt = NSMakePoint(centerX - (textW / 2.0f), centerY + (imgH /
2.0f) + 10);
[currentText drawAtPoint:textPt];
[NSGraphicsContext restoreGraphicsState];
NSDictionary *attributesOffset = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSFont fontWithName:fontName size:fontSize],
NSFontAttributeName,
[NSColor lightGrayColor],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
nil];
NSAttributedString * currentTextOffset=[[NSAttributedString alloc]
initWithString:message attributes: attributesOffset];
//textPt.x += offset;
textPt.y += offset;
[currentTextOffset drawAtPoint:textPt];
}
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andre Masse
