Positioning a string

Subject: Positioning a string

I am experiencing a little trouble with a string I want to draw in an NSRect and as the coordinates in Cocoa are upside-down I am totally confused. This string has a variable height but I want to put it always on the same point from the top of outerSize:

NSSize outerSize = [self bounds].size;
NSSize stringSize = [theString sizeWithAttributes:stringAttrib];
NSPoint stringPoint = NSMakePoint(fixedWidth, fixedHeight);
[theString drawAtPoint:stringPoint withAttributes:stringAttrib];

What is the calculation that I must do to get fixedHeight say, 32 pixels from top? I know, this is basic but I do not get it.

Thanks for any help,
