# Install

Add the files under `Source` to your project and do `#import "NSString+fontSizeThatFitsRect.h"` where you want to use this category.

# Usage

The method definition is:

`- (CGFloat)fontSizeThatFitsRect:(CGRect)rect fontName:(NSString *)fontName`

So call `fontSizeThatFitsRect:fontName:` on your NSString object and use the returned CGFloat as font size. For example:

```objectivec

NSString *fontName = @"Helvetica";

NSString *myString = @"Text here";

CGFloat fontSize = [myString fontSizeThatFitsRect:myContainerView.frame fontName:fontName];

UIFont *myFont = [UIFont fontWithName:fontName size:fontSize];

```
