I have a bit of a strange problem. I have a UITableView controller. Inside the UITableViewCells are four profile images for the user and below each picture is a UILabel to display the name. All the labels are the same size and all the constraints are equally set up. The maximum username length is 12 characters and it displays this correctly, not text cut. I have one username though that is also 12 characters long and it is cutting off 3 characters. It should surely fit if all the other 12 character names do. Could anyone give me any pointers to why this might be happening?
Thanks
As mentioned, unless you use a monospaced font, 12 characters are going o occupy a varying amount of space.
The easiest thing to do in this case is to set the adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth to YES. This will scale the text so that it fits the width of its container.

Is there any hack for v-aligning images in a cell
I am trying to create a dashboard,those traffic lights are images.
Since once of the columns is a text-wrap and the height of those rows
are dynamic, I have no way of knowing the row height to calculate the y_offset for those images
Does anyone have a recommendation on how I can handle this? Is there a way of getting the row_height after sheet.write and text_wrap format is applied?
Is there a way of getting the row_height after sheet.write and text_wrap format is applied?
Probably not without access to Windows APIs for calculating bounding boxes for strings.
You could probably make some working estimates based on the length of your string. Each new line in text wrap is equal to 15 character units or 20 pixels.
Since once of the columns is a text-wrap and the height of those rows are dynamic, I have no way of knowing the row height to calculate the y_offset for those images
This is the main problem. In order to specify the image position exactly you will need to specify explicit row heights so that XlsxWriter can calculate where the image will go based on the size of the cell. In order words you will have to avoid the automatic row height that Excel gives you when wrapping text.
Once the row height is fixed you can position images exactly where you want them using the 'x_offset' and 'y_offset' options.
Note, you can also use conditional formatting to create traffic lights based on cell values. See Sheet9/Example 9 of this code from the XlsxWriter docs and image below. These can be centered automatically even with with text wrapping.
I'm working with python-ppt to create a portfolio of candidates in a Powerpoint presentation. There is one candidate per slide and each of them has provided information about themselves like name, contacts and a minibio (the problem I'm here to solve)
The text_frame, created with values of height and width, must fit the slide but must a contain all lenght of minibios, which is not happening.
In a long phase (>200 char, with font size 12) it exceeds the size of the text box and get "out" of the slide, so, in presentation mode or a PDF file, the "overrun" of text is lost
Is there any way to confine the text to the shape/size of the text_frame? (extra help if the solution wont change font size)
Just found one parameter that helped to find the answer
When creating a text_box object with slides.shapes.add_textbox() and adding a text_frame to it, the text_frame.word_wrap = True limits the text to be contained inside the dimentions of the text_box
The code shows it better
# creates text box with add_textbox(left, top, width, height)
txBox = slide.shapes.add_textbox(Cm(16),Cm(5),Cm(17),Cm(13))
tf = txBox.text_frame
tf.word_wrap = True
Before word_wrap parameter
After word_wrap parameter
The short answer is "No". PowerPoint is a page-layout environment, and much like the front page of a newspaper, text "story" content needs to be trimmed to fit the allotted space.
We're perhaps not used to this because word-processing, spreadsheet, and web-page content is "flowed" into a (practically) unlimited space, but the area of a PowerPoint slide is quite finite. Also, using it for large text blocks is somewhat of an off-label use. There is a certain amount of flexibility provided by reducing the font size, but not as much as one might expect. Even accommodating 20% additional text requires what appears as a pretty radical change in font size.
I've encountered this problem again and again, and the only solution I have ever seen work reliably is hand-curating the content to fit.
python-pptx has one experimental feature to address this but its operation has never been very satisfactory and it's tricky to get working. https://python-pptx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/text.html#pptx.text.text.TextFrame.fit_text
The business of fitting text is the role of a rendering engine, which python-pptx is not.
I want to fit all a-z characters but it's not showing in UITableView.I want output like below first image but I am getting output like second image.Anybody can help me to solve this issue.I put red mark on that particular area.Even I want to change text color of A-Z alphabets.
iOS will automatically truncate your array if it's too long. For example, if you view your contact list in portrait orientation you will see a full index A-Z but when you rotate to landscape you'll see A * D * .... and so on.
Reduce your array to only A-Z and it will appear correctly.
If you have other items that you can't live without, remove less used letters such as 'Q', 'X', & 'Y'. Or you can even query your table and only display the index letters from what is currently in your table but this might look odd if your missing a lot of letters.
If you must keep your full list and want to reduce the text size or font type, check out this link
To change the color of the letters just do it the IB by selecting your table view in the story board and change the text color to your desired color.
Example: Text for index is now red
Is there a way to calculate the size of the justified text in Xcode.I am using a uitextview to show my text and I don't want the text to appear in more than 11 lines.There are methods like
sizewithfont I have used them but even after calculating the size and only populating the
uitextview with the specific amount of text when I apply NSTextAlignmentJustified more lines
are produced than actual ones !
Is there a way to calculate sizewithfont with justification ????
I have 4 stacked textboxes in the body of an SSRS report and am getting a stray space / extra line between textboxes 3 & 4.
This is for an address block - name / title / email / website. Can't put it in a single textbox with intervening vbcrlf tokens because the email and website are links. I've tried formatting it to remove vertical spacing; also calculated the exact position by taking top + height to calculate the position. And of course I've tried positioning it so there are exactly 0 pixels between the text boxes. If I reverse the position of #3 & #4 the rendering looks the same so it isn't stray formatting characters in the data fields.
The solution is to wrap the stacked boxes in a rectangle.
I had this problem as well. It blew my mind until I started over on another part of the form. The new boxes worked perfectly until I moved them to the right of another set of text boxes which had some word wrap in them. I realized the wordwrapped boxes were directly related to the gaps I was seeing the set of textboxes to the right. I guess there's some kind of poor markup going on that tries to line things up horizontally and enclosing the set of textboxes in a rectangle protects them from it.
good idea on putting the info into a table - jumping off that idea - I'm going to construct a dynamic string in my query and output the dynamic string into a textbox. thank you for the idea, I don't know why I didn't think to do that.
Simpler thing is to just check text alignment - the default is "default" which appears to be centered. Changing the text box to the right to "left" fixed this problem for me.
Reduce padding property of the textbox.
Once dragging the textbox one closer to the other the tooltip shows convergence points between two textboxes - make tooltip show 0 points
it is best I could do to control the spacing
