Sizing window question



I'm just learning the cocoa api's and have a couple of newbie questions that I did not readily find in the docs:


Question 1:
- I have a window, with a custom view. I get the window from a nib and can draw into the view, all good so far. The question is this, it's not until runtime that I know the size of the content. I figured out that I can resize the window with [aWindow frame], but I'm not sure how to properly calculate the window size, so that the view fits my content.


i.e. Let's say I get the window, open my data file and I see I need a view area of 120x120. The custom view needs to be 120x120. How do you figure out the appropriate window size?


Question 2:
- When I'm resizing the window, how do you figure out the desktop size, so that you don't make a window that is too big and goes offscreen.


Thanks for your time,

-john
