Waiwai is a legend

TTAreaStyle is a utility style class depend on three20.(please follow this link ttareastyleforthree20 ) It enhances the style of three20 for it could create an independent rect for other styles drawn on it. You can create some more complex style for TTView .Such as , a label with a icon in the front of it or a view with separated segments with different style. for example ,look at the imgs showed below.

usually , we may be adopt the method  creating a view with a UIImageView and a Label added to it . when there is a single exception ， for saving time ,we feel free to use it . Honestly and personally , I have to say , it is a ugly method .I was thinking , is there any cheap way to implement it . The style of Three20 make it achievable. All you want to do just is appending a style to a view inherited from TTView. Here , I used TTLable.

- (TTLabel*)authorLabel {
if (!_authorLabel) {
_authorLabel = [[TTLabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.width - 2 * BookSummaryViewMargin, 0)];
_authorLabel.style = TTSTYLE(bookSummaryAuthorStyle);
_authorLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self addSubview:_authorLabel];
}
return _authorLabel;
}

In the Global stylesheet  , adding this,

-(TTStyle*) bookSummaryAuthorStyle{
CGFloat timeIconWidth = 10;
CGFloat timeIconHeight = 12;
return
[TTAreaStyle styleWithBlock:^(CGRect rect ,id data){
return CGRectMake(0, (CGRectGetHeight(rect) - [[data objectAtIndex:0] floatValue]) / 2 , 10, 12);
}
data:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:timeIconWidth],
[NSNumber numberWithFloat:timeIconHeight],nil]
style:
[TTImageStyle styleWithImageURL:@"bundle://time.png" next:nil]
next:
[TTBoxStyle styleWithPadding:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0, 0) next:
[TTTextStyle styleWithFont: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14]
color: RGBCOLOR(128,128,128)
minimumFontSize: 0
shadowColor: RGBCOLOR(171,171,171)
shadowOffset: TTSTYLEVAR(photoCaptionTextShadowOffset)
textAlignment: UITextAlignmentLeft
verticalAlignment: UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter
lineBreakMode: UILineBreakModeCharacterWrap
numberOfLines: 6
next: nil]]];
}

With TTAreaStyle ,  I creat a independent area which you could draw anything you like . Here , i added 

[TTImageStyle styleWithImageURL:@"bundle://time.png" next:nil]

And then , shrinked  the origin draw area  by using 

[TTBoxStyle styleWithPadding:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0, 0) next:

It's worth nothing that  the param rect in the block wil let you know the size of TTLabel which other style don't offer. It 's a amazing characteristic that help you calculate the position of  elements in the independent area . Off course . do nesting if necessary.

^(CGRect rect ,id data){ }
