Core Text - How to know if text is Right to Left

How can we know if the text of a CTRun is right to left? Thanks

Solution

  • I do not have practical experience with CTRun, but from the documentation is seems that

     CTRunStatus CTRunGetStatus(CTRunRef run)

    returns the information you need, the return value is a bitfield:

    enum {
   kCTRunStatusNoStatus = 0,
   kCTRunStatusRightToLeft = (1 << 0),
   kCTRunStatusNonMonotonic = (1 << 1),
   kCTRunStatusHasNonIdentityMatrix = (1 << 2)
};
typedef uint32_t CTRunStatus;
