iOS UIButton -> Set Text on Bottom

[CarlosH]

Hi. How can I set the text on the bottom, and keep the image on the center? Using setContextVerticalAlignment sets both.

Thanks.

Does contentVerticalAlignment affect the background image? Simplest fix is probably some transparent padding on your image to the height of the button.

You could do it in code with something like:

UIImage *yourImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"whatever.png"];
CGSize yourButtonSize = yourButton.frame.size;

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(yourButtonSize);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

// Draw the image vertically centered in the button's frame.
[yourImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, floor((yourButton.height - yourImage.height) / 2.0), yourImage.width, yourImage.height)];

// New button background image.
UIImage *yourPaddedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();

UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

or just tweak them by hand if it's only a couple of images.

UIButton.imageEdgeInsets and .titleEdgeInsets ?

UIButton.imageEdgeInsets and .titleEdgeInsets ?

Now I feel foolish
