RKMultiUnitRuler - Customizable Ruler Control for iOS

A cocoa pod that simplifies process of setting and reading values for different units. This control let the user specify multiple units ( e.g Kilograms and Pound) and specify markers for each unit and then let the user modify the value via scrolling or updating the textfield.

Requirements

  • iOS 10 or higher

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Installation

RKMultiUnitRuler is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "RKMultiUnitRuler"

and run pod install in terminal. Usage

RKMultiUnitRuler

Compatibility

iOS 10+

xCode 8.0+

Swift 3.0

####You can use storyboard to create a control element.

Features

  • Extremely simple and easy to use
  • Customizable interface
  • Compatible with iOS 10.0 NSUnit Framework
  • Supports multiple units
  • Customize marker colors based on type or their value
  • Customize the width, length and number of markers of the ruler
  • Customize the unit formatter

How to use

class ViewController: UIViewController, RKMultiUnitRulerDataSource, RKMultiUnitRulerDelegate {

}

Set the ruler direction to horizontal

ruler.direction = .horizontal
ruler.direction = .vertical

Vertical Ruler

Specify how many units the ruler will display

    var numberOfSegments: Int {
        get {
            return 2.0
        }
    }

Define multiple units (Pounds and Kilograms). In the example below we are creating two markers for Kilogram unit at 0.1 and 1.0 scale but we are creating one marker for Pounds. For instance if the range is between 10-12 the "Kgs" ruler will have markers for 10.0,10.1,10.2...11.0,11.1...12.0 and the "lbs" ruler will display markers at 3.0, 4.0,...,26.0.

    func unitForSegmentAtIndex(index: Int) -> RKSegmentUnit {
        return segments[index]
    
    let formatter = MeasurementFormatter()
    formatter.unitStyle = .medium
    formatter.unitOptions = .providedUnit
    let kgSegment = RKSegmentUnit(name: "Kilograms", unit: UnitMass.kilograms, formatter: formatter)
    kgSegment.markerTypes = [
        RKRangeMarkerType(color: UIColor.white, size: CGSize(width: 1.0, height: 35.0), scale: 0.1),
        RKRangeMarkerType(color: UIColor.white, size: CGSize(width: 1.0, height: 50.0), scale: 1.0)]
    let lbsSegment = RKSegmentUnit(name: "Pounds", unit: UnitMass.pounds, formatter: formatter)
    lbsSegment.markerTypes = [
            RKRangeMarkerType(color: UIColor.white, size: CGSize(width: 1.0, height: 35.0), scale: 1.0)]
    kgSegment.markerTypes.last?.labelVisible = true
    lbsSegment.markerTypes.last?.labelVisible = true
    return [lbsSegment, kgSegment]
}

The ruler will display markers between 30.0 and 130. kgs. rangeForUnit function needs to be implemented for returning the range for the given unit. Please note that ceilf method is used in order to round the float numbers to the closest int.

var rangeStart = Measurement(value: 30.0, unit: UnitMass.kilograms)
var rangeLength = Measurement(value: Double(130), unit: UnitMass.kilograms)

func rangeForUnit(_ unit: Dimension) -> RKRange<Float> {
   let locationConverted = rangeStart.converted(to: unit as! UnitMass)
   let lengthConverted = rangeLength.converted(to: unit as! UnitMass)
   return RKRange<Float>(location: ceilf(Float(locationConverted.value)),
                         length: ceilf(Float(lengthConverted.value)))
}
    

Customize the style and font used for markers and the scroll views

let style: RKSegmentUnitControlStyle = RKSegmentUnitControlStyle()
style.scrollViewBackgroundColor = UIColor.blue
style.textFieldBackgroundColor = UIColor.red
style.textFieldBackgroundColor = UIColor.clear
style.textFieldTextColor = UIColor.white
return style

In order to apply multiple colors to the ruler for each unit you can set the colorOverrides property as shown below

style.colorOverrides = [
        RKRange<Float>(location: range.location, length: 0.1 * (range.length)): UIColor.red,
        RKRange<Float>(location: range.location + 0.4 * (range.length), length: 0.2 * (range.length)): UIColor.green]
        

Multi-color Markers

Implement RKMultiUnitRulerDataSource protocol in order to customize units, range and the style used for drawing the markers

    func unitForSegmentAtIndex(index: Int) -> RKSegmentUnit

    func rangeForUnit(_ unit: Dimension) -> RKRange<Float>

    var numberOfSegments: Int { get set }

    func styleForUnit(_ unit: Dimension) -> RKSegmentUnitControlStyle

To get the latest value that the user has picked, implement RKMultiUnitRulerDelegate.

    func valueChanged(measurement: NSMeasurement) {
        print("value changed to \(measurement.doubleValue)")
    }

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.
