Chinese characters can be displayed horizontally and vertically. I want users to have both options. How can this be done as an iPhone?

Hi "ohho" There is no such method or property with which you can achieve this, but this is possible using jugad (native word) technology. In the following code, I assume that myLabel is a UILabel object that displays the text in the desired form, where the text is taken from myTextField (UITextField object).

CGFloat height= myLabel.font.lineHeight;
int lineCount = myLabel.frame.size.height/height;
float temp = [myTextField.text length]*1.0f/lineCount;
int charPerLine = temp;
charPerLine = (temp > charPerLine)?charPerLine+1:charPerLine;
NSString* original = myTextField.text;
NSString* modifiedString = @"";
for (int i =0; i < lineCount; i++) 
{
    for (int j = charPerLine-1 ; j >=0; j--) 
    {
        NSRange r = NSMakeRange(i+j*lineCount, 1);
        if (r.location < [original length]) {
            modifiedString =[modifiedString stringByAppendingFormat:@"%@ ",[original substringWithRange:r]];
        }
    }
    modifiedString = [modifiedString stringByAppendingString:@"\n"];
}
myLabel.text = modifiedString;
