LUFontIconControls

=====================

LUFontIconControls provides an easy way to use icon fonts to replace images in your iOS app. LUFontIconControls provides a simple API to use icon font to generate iOS controls like `UIImage`, `UILabel`, `UIButton`. And by using `UIImage`, you can use it almost anywhere you want, including `UITabBarItem` and etc. 

With LUFontIconControls, you can:

- Choose any color

- Choose any size

- Auto scaling for retina display

And, __LUFontIconControls is also iOS7 ready!__

Usage

=====================

```Objective-C

// UIButton, 0xf102 is the unicode of the icon

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithIcon:0xf102 size:40];

button.frame = ...;

[self.view addSubview:button];

// UIImage

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithIcon:0xf101 imageSize:CGSizeMake(50, 50) size:40 color:[UIColor orangeColor]];

// UILabel

UILabel *lbl = [UILabel labelWithIcon:0xf100 size:30];

lbl.frame = ...;

[self.view addSubview:lbl];        

```

Screenshot

CocoaPods

=====================

    

Add the following line to your Podfile

    

```ruby    

pod 'LUFontIconControls', :git => 'https://github.com/rjyo/LUFontIconControls.git'

```

Setup

=====================

If you are using fonts other than those built with `fontcutom`, you need to specify the font name.

```Objective-C

[LUFontIconControls instance].fontName = @"FontName";

```

Add the following line to your YourAppName-Info.plist to support custom font. If you are new to this, check this [step-by-step tutorial](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13029660/use-custom-fonts-in-iphone-app) here.

```XML

UIAppFonts

    fontcustom.ttf

```

Build Your Fonts

=====================

Check the `Example` project bundled for building your font from command line. Put your SVG files of your icons under ./Icons and run `make font` to generate the custom icon font. [fontcustom](https://github.com/FontCustom/fontcustom/) cli is need.
