Hello,
Is there a way, and if not, it would be great to do be able to do so:
See examples:
Although there is no dedicated button layout for this (UILabel doesn’t support the vertical text orientation - we would need to resort to hacks) but :-). You can use the line separation “\n” and create vertical text like this. Just type: “H\nE\nL\nL\nO”.
Can this be added to a future release?
I have done this, but for clarity, are you saying to physically type in the \n or press return?
Per my example 2 above, no way to doing to lines unless you do combinations of spaces and returns or just spaced.
You need to type \n - “return” key is not recognized in this object. And as mentioned, UILabel object in Swift doesn’t allow for vertical orientation - we would need to implement hacks and transformations and I believe these would be problematic. I know that option 2 is not possible unless you are using two objects - but the “\n” solution should suffice in most cases :-).
This does not work. When I add the \n they show up. Please post a video to illustrate. I have also tried to do option+return similar to how you would do it in Excel for an inline line break. No go.
On MetaGrid Pro for Mac 1.6.7 before I synch it to my iPad.
The way I attained the others is just adding blank spaces, which isn’t idea and is iffy if you have characters that are not the same width as others especially the letter “I”.
Hmmm, it works fine on all our test systems. The \n sign should disappear when you press the enter on the iOS keyboard - can you try it on your iPad?
I’m doing it on the Mac version then synching.
OK, and when you do this on your iPad?
The problem with \n is that it does not stay. After a while it goes back as if \n was not there.
Are you experiencing the same?
We have replicated the issue with the label mishandling the “\n” character on some systems. The fix will be available in MGP 1.6.8.
Is this the reason for the update being delayed? ETA on release?
It turned out that we needed to urgently refactor some import /export code based on some system framework update. 1.6.8 Beta 3 has been jus released to the beta testers and if no series bugs are reported during the next few days, we want to release the build on Friday.
Any updates on the update release timeline?
