Drawing warped text on iOS
Using standard APIs available on iOS 9 and later, how can I achieve a warp effect (something like the following image) when drawing text?
How I would imagine this might work is by specifying essentially four "path segments" which could be either Bézier curves or straight line segments (whatever single "elements" you can normally create within a CGPath or UIBezierPath ) defining the shape of the four edges of the text's bounding box.
This text doesn't need to be selectable. It may as well be an image, but I'm hoping to find a way to draw it in code, so we don't have to have separate images for each of our localizations. I'd love an answer that uses CoreGraphics, NSString / NSAttributedString drawing additions, UIKit/TextKit, or even CoreText. I'd just settle on using images before going as far as OpenGL or Metal, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't still accept a good OpenGL or Metal answer if it is literally the only way to do this.
You can achieve this effect using only CoreText and CoreGraphics.
I was able to achieve it using a lot of approximation techniques. Much of what I did using approximation (via CGPathCreateCopyByDashingPath), you could theoretically replace with more clever math. This could both increase performance and make the resultant path smoother.
Basically, you can parameterize the top line and baseline paths (or approximate the parameterization, as I've done). (You can define a function that gets the point at a given percentage along the path.)
CoreText can convert each glyph into a CGPath. Run CGPathApply on each of the glyphs' paths with a function that maps each point along the path to the matching percentage along the line of text. Once you have the point mapped to a horizontal percentage, you can scale it along the line defined by the 2 points at that percentage along your top line and baseline. Scale the point along that line based on the length of the line vs the height of the glyph, and that creates your new point. Save each scaled point to a new CGPath. Fill that path.
I've used CGPathCreateCopyByDashingPath on each glyph as well to create enough points where I don't have to handle the math to curve a long LineTo element (for example). This makes the math more simple, but can leave the path looking a little jagged. To fix this, you could pass the resultant image into a smoothing filter (CoreImage for example), or pass the path to a library that can smooth and simplify the path.
(I did originally just try CoreImage distortion filters to solve the whole problem, but the effects never quite produced the right effect.)
Here is the result (note the slightly jagged edges from using approximation): 
Here it is with lines drawn between each percent of the two lines: 
Here is how I made it work (180 lines, scrolls):
static CGPoint pointAtPercent(CGFloat percent, NSArray<NSValue *> *pointArray) {
percent = MAX(percent, 0.f);
percent = MIN(percent, 1.f);
int floorIndex = floor(([pointArray count] - 1) * percent);
int ceilIndex = ceil(([pointArray count] - 1) * percent);
CGPoint floorPoint = [pointArray[floorIndex] CGPointValue];
CGPoint ceilPoint = [pointArray[ceilIndex] CGPointValue];
CGPoint midpoint = CGPointMake((floorPoint.x + ceilPoint.x) / 2.f, (floorPoint.y + ceilPoint.y) / 2.f);
return midpoint;
}

// Possible to get higher resolution out of this with more point types,
// or by using math to walk the path instead of just saving a bunch of points.
if (element->type == kCGPathElementMoveToPoint) {
[pointArray addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:element->points[0]]];
}

CGFloat newX = baselinePoint.x + (mappedPercentHeight * (toplinePoint.x - baselinePoint.x));

The included code is also far from "complete". For example, there are many parts of CoreText I skimmed over. Glyphs with descenders do work, but not well. Some thought would have to go into how to handle those. Also, my letter spacing is sloppy.
Clearly this is a non-trivial problem. I'm sure there are better ways to do this with 3rd party libraries capable of efficiently distorting Bezier paths. However, for the purposes of the intellectual exercise of seeing if it can be done without 3rd party libraries, I think this demonstrates that it can.
