Have a UIVew container for multiple UILabels random generated, rotated and placed into this view, also if I am using angles 0, 90, 180, 270 looks good but if angle randomly generated labels looks expanded, and this is problem for me because words should be placed very close and without intersection, this how looks generator:
- (void) generate:(UIView *)container
words:(NSArray *)words
colors:(NSArray *)colors
minFontSize:(float)minSize
maxFontSize:(float)maxSize
rotateWords:(BOOL)rotate
useAngleRange:(BOOL)useRange
{
usingRange = useRange;
for (int i = 0; i < [words count]; i++) {
UILabel *word_l = [[UILabel alloc] init];
word_l.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"EuropeBold" size:[self getRandomNumberBetween:minSize to:(i < probableBigFontWords) ? maxSize : (maxSize / 3)]];
[word_l setText:words[i]];
[word_l setTextColor:colors[arc4random_uniform([colors count])]];
[word_l setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[word_l sizeToFit];
CGRect fr = CGRectMake(0,
0,
word_l.frame.size.width,
word_l.frame.size.height);
word_l.frame = fr;
word_l.center = CGPointMake([self getRandomNumberBetween:175 to:639], [self getRandomNumberBetween:175 to:375]);
if (rotate) {
int angleType = arc4random_uniform(2);
if (useRange) {
int angle = (angleType == 1) ? [self getRandomNumberBetween:0 to:90] : [self getRandomNumberBetween:270 to:360];
[word_l setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(angle))];
} else {
[word_l setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation((angleType == 1) ? DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(270) : DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(360))];
}
}
[container addSubview:word_l];
while ([self viewIntersectsWithAnotherView:container chosenView:word_l]) {
viewPositionMovingStep++;
[self placeItem:container :word_l];
}
}
}

this how looks right placed labels:
and this example short word with random generated angles (range 270-360, 0-90):
as you have noticed, no text showing there, labels looks expanded and intersection checker is not working in this case, also if function called from viewDidLoad or viewDidApper this checkers is not working at all, I really need help, any ideas guys?
Thank you!


resizing problem was fixed this way:
the reason is: When using the transform property you are not allowed to change the position by changing the frame, you have to use the center property.
So this part was fixed but left issue related with rotated view intersection, checker is not working properly, but testing it separately in other project it doing well.
There he is:
someone ideas?
