I have a TextKit based editor with support to adding images. I want to show each image on separate lines.
My code looks like this (Thank you TextEdit), in my subclass of NSTextStorage
- (void)addImageAssets:(NSArray *)allAssets atRange:(NSRange)range;
{
NSMutableAttributedString *attachments = [NSMutableAttributedString new];
NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init];
paragraphStyle.alignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
paragraphStyle.lineSpacing = 20.0f;
for (ALAsset *newAsset in allAssets)
{
UIImage *theImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:newAsset.aspectRatioThumbnail];
NSTextAttachment *textAttachment = [NSTextAttachment new];
textAttachment.image = theImage;
NSMutableAttributedString *replacementString = [NSMutableAttributedString new];
[replacementString appendAttributedString:[NSAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment:textAttachment]];
[replacementString addAttribute:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName
value:paragraphStyle
range:NSMakeRange(0, [replacementString length])];
[attachments appendAttributedString:replacementString];
}
_isEditing = YES;
[self beginEditing];
[_backingStore replaceCharactersInRange:range
withAttributedString:attachments];
[self edited:NSTextStorageEditedAttributes
range:range changeInLength:allAssets.count];
[super processEditing];
[self endEditing];
_isEditing = NO;
}
(the _isEditing is a boolean flag used for book-keeping)
The output looks like this Output http://take.ms/QCvRK
I have tried various parameters on the NSMutableParagraphStyle but I couldn't get a line break after each image.
Appending a line break ("\r") around the text attachment will result in a glyph error
!!! _NSLayoutTreeLineFragmentRectForGlyphAtIndex invalid glyph index 1
!!! _NSGlyphTreeInvalidateGlyphsForCharacterRange invalid char range 1
!!! _NSGlyphTreeInvalidateGlyphsForCharacterRange character count mismatch
!!! _NSLayoutTreeLineFragmentRectForGlyphAtIndex invalid glyph index 0
!!! _NSLayoutTreeLineFragmentRectForGlyphAtIndex invalid glyph index 0
!!! _NSLayoutTreeLineFragmentUsedRectForGlyphAtIndex invalid glyph index 2147483647
I tried to subclass the NSTextAttachment to over-ride the attachmentBoundsForTextContainer:proposedLineFragment:glyphPosition:characterIndex: so that the width is set to the device width, this resulted in the attached image looking blown up.
Any suggestion on how I can introduce a line break right after each image ? Also it would be great if I can get the text to flow around the image attachments.
Thanks in advance.
