I have an logo that is quite large (58312 x 1478 px), I am reducing the size of it using alamofire image, and then setting constraints to centre horizontally and vertically in the view (self.view) as shown below using Visual Flow Layout (VFL).
With the below constraints the logo is not centred, can someone please advice where I am going wrong.
let viewWidth = self.view.bounds.width
let viewHeight = self.view.bounds.height
let logoView = UIImageView()
logoView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
let logo = UIImage(named: "logo")
let logoSize = CGSize(width: 200.0, height: 100.0)
let aspectScaledToFitImage = logo.af_imageAspectScaled(toFit: logoSize)
logoView.image = aspectScaledToFitImage
self.view.addSubview(logoView)
let logoHeight = logoView.frame.size.height
let logoWidth = logoView.frame.size.width
let logoViewTopSpacing = (viewHeight / 2) + (logoHeight / 2)
let logoViewSideSpacing = (viewWidth / 2) + (logoWidth / 2)
let views = [
"logoView" : logoView
]
// SETTING CONSTRAINTS
view.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|-\(logoViewSideSpacing)-[logoView]", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
view.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|-\(logoViewTopSpacing)-[logoView]", options: [], metrics: nil, views: views))
I figured out that
by replacing the below
let imageWidth = aspectScaledToFitImage.size.width
let imageHeight = aspectScaledToFitImage.size.height
let logoViewTopSpacing = (viewHeight / 2) - (imageHeight / 2)
let logoViewSideSpacing = (viewWidth / 2) - (imageWidth / 2)
with
let logoHeight = logoView.frame.size.height
let logoWidth = logoView.frame.size.width
let logoViewTopSpacing = (viewHeight / 2) + (logoHeight / 2)
let logoViewSideSpacing = (viewWidth / 2) + (logoWidth / 2)
Solved the problem of centering the logo inside the view

(( EDIT: I made the elements all code in GameScene.swift . That file is now included in this post. Also updated question text and removed some other text. ))
I'm new to SpriteKit and Swift 3. With a few million speakers there's not a lot of Esperanto software so I want to make a game for myself to learn 1000 Esperanto words. (not shown!)
I want to have each card flip to reveal a word value from the dictionary key/values.
Then see if that word matches the wordGuess label key for the value selected.
Also JSON might be better for breaking up 1000 words into modular sections but I'll cross that bridge at another time.

How to assign dictionary values to the cards?. EDIT 2: By not using values! I'm going to do from the perspective of dictionary keys, that way each card has a key value pair, then just display the value.
// get all the card keys
var cardKeys:[String] = []
for (k,_) in cardsDictionary {
cardKeys.append(k)
}
// slice for only four cards
var fourCardKeys = cardKeys[0...3]
// get 1st value for display
cardsDictionary[fourCardKeys[0]]
So SKLabelNode on touchDown? I'll try it. Also need to flip card so word is not on the image. Lastly compare the pressed card's key to the wordGuess key text. Getting closer
EDIT 3: Update of didMove with split keys and values. Can get the title to be the first key now and I can put the first value on the top left card okay as a test. Progress. Now I just need to either blank out the card on touchDown or find a way to flip it.

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {

{
label.isHidden = true

SKAction.setTexture(SKTexture(imageNamed: "Redcard-blank"))
]

label.isHidden = false
}
Personally, I don't like to use userData, my opinion is that isn't a readable code.
I'd some like to create a custom SKNode like:
class Card: SKSpriteNode {
var value....
var dictionary
etc
}
Another solution, you can create a tuples:
var cardsDictionary: [String:String] = [
"vegetable":"legomo",
"plant":"vegetalo",
"actually":"efektive",
"currently":"aktuale"
]
let cardTopLeft = (node:SKNode, value:Int, type:[String:String])
cardTopLeft.node = SKSpriteNode(imageNamed: "Redcard")
cardTopLeft.value = 1
cardTopLeft.type = cardsDictionary[0]
All SKNodes have a dictionary you can write to called userData. It is an optional NSMutableDictionary, so you are going to have to create it:
cardTopLeft.zPosition = 1
cardTopLeft.size = CGSize(width: 300.0, height: 300.0)
cardTopLeft.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
cardTopLeft.position = CGPoint(x:-229, y:-57)
cardTopLeft.userData = ["word":"tree","value","arbo"]
addChild(cardTopLeft)
To use:
let word = cardTopLeft.userData["word"]
let value = cardTopLeft.userData["value"]
Getting a better understanding of your question, I would use SKLabelNode as an alternative.
What you can do is create SKLabelNodes to the cards with the word you want to attach, and mark it as isHidden = true. When you are ready to reveal the word, you just mark isHidden = false
let value = SKLabelNode("arbo")
value.isHidden = false
cardTopLeft.zPosition = 1
cardTopLeft.size = CGSize(width: 300.0, height: 300.0)
cardTopLeft.anchorPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5)
cardTopLeft.position = CGPoint(x:-229, y:-57)
cardTopLeft.addChild(value)
addChild(cardTopLeft)
//to reveal it
if let label = cardTopLeft.children[0] as? SKLabelNode
{
label.isHidden = false
}
//to use it
if let label = cardTopLeft.children[0] as? SKLabelNode
{
let value = label.text
//compare value to dictionary of answers
}
You may want to give your labels a name so that you do not have to use children[0], but I will leave how you want to find a node up to you.
Okay so I'm trying to draw a dashed line inside of a view, which should be fairly simple but no matter what I've tried I keep getting the dashes at both ends clipping and I would like to have the dash not have any clipped segments. Here's the extension I made (the purple background color is just there so I can see the frame)
extension UIView {
public func addDashedLineToView(_ color : UIColor) {
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.purple
let cgColor = color.cgColor
let shapeLayer: CAShapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
let frameSize = self.frame.size
let shapeRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: frameSize.width, height: frameSize.height)
shapeLayer.bounds = shapeRect
shapeLayer.position = CGPoint(x: frameSize.width / 2, y: frameSize.height)
shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor
shapeLayer.strokeColor = cgColor
shapeLayer.lineWidth = 6
shapeLayer.lineCap = kCALineCapRound
shapeLayer.lineJoin = kCALineJoinRound
shapeLayer.lineDashPattern = [8, 10]
let path: CGMutablePath = CGMutablePath()
path.move(to: .zero)
path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: self.frame.width, y: 0))
shapeLayer.path = path
self.layer.addSublayer(shapeLayer)
self.layer.masksToBounds = true
}
and here's a screenshot of what it ends up looking like.
not sure where I'm messing up here, but I know that I must be doing something wrong since it shouldn't be this hard to draw a dashed line in swift (I hope).
You can adjust the start position of the pattern with lineDashPhase. Try
shapeLayer.lineDashPhase = -4
I am using iOS-Charts to show a horizontal bar chart.
The x-Axis labels on the left are cut-off.
Only when I double tap on the chart, the correct sizing appears to happen and the labels are not cut off anymore.
Here's the code I'm using
func setChart(_ dataPoints: [(String,Int)], chart: HorizontalBarChartView) {
chart.noDataText = "No data available."
var dataEntries: [BarChartDataEntry] = []
let maxNumberEntries = dataPoints.count
var xAxisLabel: [String] = []
var counter:Int = maxNumberEntries-1
for _ in 0..<maxNumberEntries {
let dataEntry = BarChartDataEntry(x: Double(counter), yValues: [Double(dataPoints[counter].1)], label: dataPoints[counter].0)
dataEntries.append(dataEntry)
xAxisLabel.append(dataPoints[counter].0)
counter -= 1
}
xAxisLabel = xAxisLabel.reversed()
let chartDataSet = BarChartDataSet(values: dataEntries, label: "")
let chartData = BarChartData(dataSet: chartDataSet)
chart.data = chartData
chart.animate(xAxisDuration: 2.0, yAxisDuration: 2.0)
// disable zoom of chart
chart.pinchZoomEnabled = false
chart.scaleXEnabled = false
chart.scaleYEnabled = false
chart.chartDescription?.text = ""
chart.legend.enabled = false
// disable selection of bars
chartDataSet.highlightEnabled = false
chartDataSet.valueFont = NSUIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 10)
let numberFormatter = ValueFormatter()
chartData.setValueFormatter(numberFormatter)
// specify the width each bar should have
let barWidth = 0.8
chartData.barWidth = barWidth
let formato:BarChartFormatter = BarChartFormatter()
formato.strings = xAxisLabel
let xaxis:XAxis = XAxis()
_ = formato.stringForValue(Double(1), axis: xaxis)
xaxis.valueFormatter = formato
chart.xAxis.valueFormatter = xaxis.valueFormatter
let xAxis = chart.xAxis
xAxis.labelPosition = XAxis.LabelPosition.bottom // label at bottom
xAxis.drawGridLinesEnabled = false
xAxis.granularity = 1.0
xAxis.labelCount = maxNumberEntries
xAxis.labelRotationAngle = 0
// Don't show other axis
let leftAxis = chart.leftAxis
leftAxis.enabled = false
let rightAxis = chart.rightAxis
rightAxis.enabled = false
}
Any idea how to fix that?
Screenshots:
cut-off xAxis labels
after double tap the labels are not cut-off anymore
If you values are cut off even after notifyDataSetChanged, try offseting it like this:
mChart.extraTopOffset = 20
I solved this issue by calling
chart.fitScreen()
for every bar chart once all the data is passed.
HorizontalBarChart label cut issue solved you just only put this code in your chart setup:
chart.extraRightOffset = 30
If anyone has been struggling and answer did not help, once you set a chart with a new data, do not forget to call notifyDataSetChanged on chart, otherwise labels will be cut. That was my case.
I'm trying to add pageControl to my collection View which is inside my collectionView Cell, so I need to declare UIPageControl so
let CollectionViewPageControl: UIPageControl = {
let pageControl = UIPageControl()
pageControl.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 100, width: 10, height: 10)
pageControl.currentPage = 0
pageControl.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.red
pageControl.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.lightGray
return pageControl
}
but I got this error Cannot convert value of type '() -> _' to specified type 'UIPageControl'
so any help ?
You're declaring collectionViewPageControl as an UIPageControl, but you're assigning a closure to it.
You can do this:
let collectionViewPageControl: UIPageControl = UIPageControl()
collectionViewPageControl.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 100, width: 10, height: 10)
collectionViewPageControl.currentPage = 0
collectionViewPageControl.currentPageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.red
collectionViewPageControl.pageIndicatorTintColor = UIColor.lightGray
You can read more about closures in Swift here.
And don't forget to add it to your collectionViewCell (or whatever is the parent of the UICollectionView that will be paginated).
yourCollectionViewCell.addSubview(collectionViewPageControl)
