ScrollView - Soft clip at bottom only?

[aholla]

Hi does anyone know how I could created a vertical scrollview which fades out at the bottom only?

Thanks.

Use 2 overlapping scroll views. Upper one soft clipped, lower one hard clipped (border 0).

Hi I don't understand how the two scroll views would work.

I want to scroll a large UILabel full of text. I want the top the be hard clipped (you can see the text getting cut off) but I would like the bottom text to be faded so the bottom of the view is transparent leaving only a certain amount visible at the top to the middle.

As I said, two scroll views. Imagine two boxes, one depicted using "@" and another using "+":

1. @@@@@@@
2. @     @
3. #+++++#
4. #.....#
5. #.....#
6. #.....#
7. #.....#
8. #@@@@@#
9. +     +
10. +++++++
11.  

The "#" is where both of them overlap. The dots are where your content will be.

Shouldn't be easier to have softness X Left/Right and Y Top/Bottom in the same clipping panel options?

Sure, but doing so will complicate the shader quite a bit, resulting in reduced performance for everyone else. This kind of edge case is not worth downgrading everyone's performance.
