Doug is correct. Check out NSText in the APIs. I used this method
just yesterday to size a text view:
-sizeToFit
Resizes the receiver to fit its text.
- (void)sizeToFit
Discussion
The text view will not be sized any smaller than its minimum size,
however.
Availability
• Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later.
See Also
• – isHorizontallyResizable
• – isVerticallyResizable
To prove it to yourself, create a rectangle r, make a textview with
r, -insertText into it, check r in debugger, call -sizeToFit, and
look at the rectangle now. Horizontal does not adjust automatically,
maybe due to wordwrapping concerns?

Don't do this. NSTextView handles this automatically for you. See /
Developer/Examples/AppKit/TextSizingExample for examples of various
different ways to set up a text view depending on how you want it to
resize vertically, horizontally, etc. If the width is fixed and you
just want the container to size properly vertically, you don't need to
do anything; the stock NSTextView you create in IB should be fine.
