# ClearTextLabel - iOS (Objective-C)

`ClearTextLabel` is a `UILabel` subclass that creates a label with see-through text.

## Requirements

* iOS 6.0 or later

* CoreFoundation.framework

* CoreText.framework

* QuartzCore.framework

* ARC (either project is ARC or ClearTextLabel is compiled with `-fobjc-arc`)

## Installation

* Want a pod for this, just add following line to your podfile-

```

pod 'ClearTextLabel'

```

* You may wish to copy the source files directly, totally up to you.

## How To Use

Using ClearTextLabel is as simple as using regular UILabel :

```objective-c

ClearTextLabel* objCTLbl = [[ClearTextLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 100, 280, 368)];

objCTLbl.text = @"Can this be drawn with transparency ?";

[self.view addSubview:objCTLbl];

```

ClearTextLabel draws the text provided to it with transparency.

* It uses CoreGraphics Context to draw the letters' CGPath.

* Letters' CGPath, how ? Well what's CoreText there for ?
