I'm trying to add text over UIView just like on instagram Stories. I'm using this function that draws textViews over a a view the size of the screen frame
func passingAndDrawingTextViews(textViews : [UITextView], viewPassed : UIView, inImage : UIImage) -> UIImage{
let scale = UIScreen.main.scale
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(viewPassed.frame.size, false, scale)
viewPassed.draw(CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: viewPassed.frame.width, height: viewPassed.frame.height))
//adding each textView
textViews.forEach { (textView) in
let textColor = textView.textColor
let textFont = UIFont(name: textView.font!.fontName, size: textView.font!.pointSize)
let textAlignment = textView.textAlignment
//alignment of the text
let paragraphStyle: NSMutableParagraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
paragraphStyle.alignment = textAlignment
let textFontAttributes = [
NSAttributedString.Key.font: textFont,
NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: textColor,
NSAttributedString.Key.paragraphStyle : paragraphStyle,
]
let rect = CGRect(x: textView.frame.minX, y: textView.frame.minY, width: textView.frame.width, height: textView.frame.height)
textView.text.draw(in: rect, withAttributes: textFontAttributes as [NSAttributedString.Key : Any])
}
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
The text is drawn, the problem is that It isn't in the exact point the textview is positioned in the viewPassed. In particular the text that is drawn is a little bit upper-left in respect of the original textView.
I was wondering why this could happen and how to solve it, I'm wrapping my head around but it seems I can't find a solution.
