    <p>Here's a technique that's similar to Matt Gallagher's, which will generate an inverted text mask with an image.</p> <p>Allocate a (mutable) data buffer. Create a bitmap context with an 8-bit alpha channel. Configure settings for text drawing. Fill the whole buffer in copy mode (default colour assumed to have alpha value of 1). Write the text in clear mode (alpha value of 0). Create an image from the bitmap context. Use the bitmap as a mask to make a new image from the source image. Create a new UIImage and clean up.</p> <p>Every time the textString or sourceImage or size values change, re-generate the final image.</p> <pre><code>CGSize size = /* assume this exists */; UIImage *sourceImage = /* assume this exists */; NSString *textString = /* assume this exists */; char *text = [textString cStringUsingEncoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding]; NSUInteger len = [textString lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:cStringUsingEncoding:NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding]; NSMutableData *data = [NSMutableData dataWithLength:size.width*size.height*1]; CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate([data mutableBytes], size.width, size.height, 8, size.width, NULL, kCGImageAlphaOnly); CGContextSelectFont(context, "Gill Sans Bold", 64.0f, kCGEncodingMacRoman); CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(context, kCGTextFill); CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeCopy); CGContextFillRect(context, overlay.bounds); CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeClear); CGContextShowTextAtPoint(context, 16.0f, 16.0f, text, len); CGImageRef textImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context); CGImageRef newImage = CGImageCreateWithMask(sourceImage.CGImage, textImage); UIImage *finalImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:newImage]; CGContextRelease(context); CFRelease(newImage); CFRelease(textImage); </code></pre> <p>Another way to do this involves putting the textImage into a new layer and setting that layer on your view's layer. (Remove the lines that create "newImage" and "finalImage".) Assuming this happens inside your view's code somewhere:</p> <pre><code>CALayer *maskLayer = [[CALayer alloc] init]; CGPoint position = CGPointZero; // layout the new layer position = overlay.layer.position; position.y *= 0.5f; maskLayer.bounds = overlay.layer.bounds; maskLayer.position = position; maskLayer.contents = (__bridge id)textImage; self.layer.mask = maskLayer; </code></pre> <p>There are more alternatives, some might be better (subclass UIImage and draw the text directly in clear mode after the superclass has done its drawing?).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
