テキストを画像に重ね合わせ、その2つを組み合わせて1つの UIImage .

思いつく限りの検索語を使って Google を使い果たしたので、どなたか解決策、あるいは少なくとも指し示すことのできるヒントをお持ちであれば、非常に感謝しています。

どのように解決するのですか？

OK...私はそれを考え出した。

func textToImage(drawText: NSString, inImage: UIImage, atPoint: CGPoint) -> UIImage{

    // Setup the font specific variables
    var textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    var textFont = UIFont(name: "Helvetica Bold", size: 12)!

    // Setup the image context using the passed image
    let scale = UIScreen.mainScreen().scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(inImage.size, false, scale)

    // Setup the font attributes that will be later used to dictate how the text should be drawn
    let textFontAttributes = [
        NSFontAttributeName: textFont,
        NSForegroundColorAttributeName: textColor,
    ]

    // Put the image into a rectangle as large as the original image
    inImage.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, inImage.size.width, inImage.size.height))

    // Create a point within the space that is as bit as the image
    var rect = CGRectMake(atPoint.x, atPoint.y, inImage.size.width, inImage.size.height)

    // Draw the text into an image
    drawText.drawInRect(rect, withAttributes: textFontAttributes)

    // Create a new image out of the images we have created
    var newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

    // End the context now that we have the image we need
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    //Pass the image back up to the caller
    return newImage

}

呼び出すには、画像を渡すだけです。

textToImage("000", inImage: UIImage(named:"thisImage.png")!, atPoint: CGPointMake(20, 20))

以下のリンク先で整理しました。

Swift - drawInRect:withAttributes でテキストを描画します。

Objective-C (iOS)で画像にテキストを書き込むには？

もともとの目的は、動的な画像を作って AnnotaionView で使用できる動的な画像を作成することでした。例えば、地図上の特定の場所に価格を表示するようなもので、これはそのために非常に効果的でした。 これが同じことをしようとしている誰かの助けになることを願っています。

Swift 3 用です。

 func textToImage(drawText text: NSString, inImage image: UIImage, atPoint point: CGPoint) -> UIImage {
    let textColor = UIColor.white
    let textFont = UIFont(name: "Helvetica Bold", size: 12)!

    let scale = UIScreen.main.scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, false, scale)

    let textFontAttributes = [
        NSFontAttributeName: textFont,
        NSForegroundColorAttributeName: textColor,
        ] as [String : Any]
    image.draw(in: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: image.size))

    let rect = CGRect(origin: point, size: image.size)
    text.draw(in: rect, withAttributes: textFontAttributes)

    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return newImage!
 }

Swift 4用です。

 func textToImage(drawText text: String, inImage image: UIImage, atPoint point: CGPoint) -> UIImage {
    let textColor = UIColor.white
    let textFont = UIFont(name: "Helvetica Bold", size: 12)!

    let scale = UIScreen.main.scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, false, scale)

    let textFontAttributes = [
        NSAttributedStringKey.font: textFont,
        NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: textColor,
        ] as [NSAttributedStringKey : Any]
    image.draw(in: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: image.size))

    let rect = CGRect(origin: point, size: image.size)
    text.draw(in: rect, withAttributes: textFontAttributes)

    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return newImage!
 }

Swift 5用です。

func textToImage(drawText text: String, inImage image: UIImage, atPoint point: CGPoint) -> UIImage {
    let textColor = UIColor.white
    let textFont = UIFont(name: "Helvetica Bold", size: 12)!

    let scale = UIScreen.main.scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(image.size, false, scale)

    let textFontAttributes = [
        NSAttributedString.Key.font: textFont,
        NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: textColor,
        ] as [NSAttributedString.Key : Any]
    image.draw(in: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: image.size))

    let rect = CGRect(origin: point, size: image.size)
    text.draw(in: rect, withAttributes: textFontAttributes)

    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return newImage!
}
