I have a situation wherein I have an array of NSAttributedString
objects. Things can be appended onto the end of this array, and when
it's greater than a certain size, the oldest one falls off.
I need to be able to display this array in something akin to an
NSTextView. I attempted to actually just USE an NSTextView, using an
NSTextStorage for the backing, but trying to snip the oldest bits off
and put the newest bits on... well, it caused some serious performance
issues.
Since every element in the array is guaranteed to be a paragraph (and
thus have a rectangular view) and changed independently of other
elements, I'm considering simply generating an NSTextView for each
element and having a custom view that displays the set of NSTextViews.
However, before I plunge into this... it just seems like it's not the
ideal solution.
This is Cocoa, after all; there should be some more elegant way to do
this! :)
At any rate, I'm afraid that I may have reached that point where one is
so mired in trying to resolve a design problem that one loses her
perspective. So I figured I'd toss this query out, in case anyone else
had input or brilliant design ideas I've overlooked.
