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

• iOS 6.0 or later
• CoreFoundation.framework
• CoreText.framework
• QuartzCore.framework
• ARC (either project is ARC or ClearTextLabel is compiled with -fobjc-arc)

• 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.

Using ClearTextLabel is as simple as using regular UILabel :

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 ?
