Vertically Centering a String within a View

I have an NSView subclass which I need to display messages in from time to time. I'm displaying these messages via the drawRect: method. I'd like to have these messages both centered horizontally and vertically.

Horizontal centering is easy and done within the string attributes. I can't seem to find a good way, however, to do the vertical centering. The string attributes are set to wrap the words, and, depending on the length of the string, the space needed can change.

It seems kind of silly that I would need to calculate the word-wrap myself, then back-track to calculate the positioning. Is there an easier way?

Thanks!

August
