Re: Text Sizing

From NSAttributedString additions in AppKit docs:

<Attachment missing>
Returns the bounding box of the marks that the receiver draws.

thus
[myAttributedString size].height

should give you the information you are looking for.

Just remember that if you are using NSAttributedString's -drawInRect:
method or -drawAtPoint:, these will not wrap your text. -drawInRect
will simply clip the text, in fact. If you are looking to have your
text wrap, you will need to use something else. (Perhaps an
NSTextField?)

Cheers,
-Charles
