Flushed with some semblance of success I'm now trying to get Finder's
behaviour with inserting centre ellipses when the text is too large
for its container.
I can get the ellipsis at the tail of the text easily enough
(NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine), and I thought I had a bead
on the problem remembering that NSParagraphStyle has a setting for
this - but actually it has a setting for breaking each line in the
paragraph (i.e. according to end-of-lines in the text), rather than
what happens typographical wrapping. As I have no line breaks in my
text I'll always get one line of laid-out text, with the ellipsis in
the middle - not what I'm after.
Is there some other mechanism to achieve what I'm after? Perhaps this
requires NSTextView-Fu (of which I currently have next to none).
