I have a NSStatusItem that displays the weather

setAttributedTitle methods. Now
I would like to animate the status item when the
forecast changes. I
need to animate a view, so now I have to use setView
to create a
view. Using the image by itself in the view is easy
enough, but how
do get the attr. string in a view? I'm looking at
the CircleView
example and that looks promising as a model, but is
there a better
way that I might accomplish this?
Thanks
Easiest solution: AppKit's NSAttributedString category
includes methods for drawing an attributed string in a
given rect.
