Hi.

I have a text, which I would like to display in a text field. I would like to size the text field on run time to fit exactly the text. The text is line-broken by hard breaks, and occupies many lines, and approximately 80 columns. I would like to know the rect in which the text exactly fits using my font attributes.

I think this could be made using a constellation of NSTextContainer, NSLayoutManager, NSTextStorage and possible other classes, but I don't see how they fit.

For an NSAttributedString you can just do [string size].

For an NSString you can do [string sizeWithAttributes:myAttributes], where myAttributes is a dictionary.

Check NSStringDrawing.h in the AppKit.
