Re: line spacing differences between NSTextView and NSAttributedString



Douglas,

Thanks for the quick reply. That did the trick. I guess I wasn't looking for the right stuff in the archives...

Here's the relevant link so future archive searchers have more keywords to follow:

Thanks again!

I've got an NSAttributedString that I'm drawing using the drawInRect method in my view. Now, the user can edit this string by double clicking it. When they do so, I stop drawing the text, then position and show an NSTextView that has been populated with the NSAttributedString using [[view textStorage] setAttributedString:str]. When they click elsewhere, the contents of the NSTextView are transferred back to my NSAttributedString, and I hide the NSTextView and start drawing the string again.

Functionally, this all works like a charm. There is a problem, however, in that the line spacing is not the same when the text view draws it versus when I draw it w/ drawInRect.

The drawInRect method spaces the lines slightly further apart than NSTextView does, so the user sees an accordion effect as the text becomes editable.

I've tried explicitly setting the line spacing to 0 using NSParagraphStyle, to no avail.

Any thoughts on how I can get NSTextView and NSAttributedString's drawInRect methods to render the text with the same metrics?


Look in the archives for Aki's post on NSTypesetterBehavior.
