I found these in my email archive...
NSString *stringToDraw; // the string to draw
NSMutableDictionary *attrs = [NSMutableDictionary
dictionaryWithCapacity:2];
NSMutableParagraphStyle *ps = [[[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc]
init] autorelease];
[ps setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
[attrs setObject:ps forKey:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName];
[stringToDraw drawInRect:rect withAttributes:attrs];
"The Cocoa Text System now allows the last visible line to have an
ellipsis character appended if the entire content cannot fit into
the specified bounding box. The behavior can be controlled with -
truncatesLastVisibleLine for text cells. The -lineBreakMode must be
either NSLineBreakByWordWrapping or NSLineBreakByCharWrapping for
this option to take effect.. Also, the
NSStringDrawingTruncatesLastVisibleLine flag can be specified to
NSStringDrawing APIs that take NSStringDrawingOptions. The
NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin flag must also be specified
for the truncation flag to take effect."
Maybe this will point you in the right direction

Folks;
I have a source list type view.
I am using a tableView not an outlineView because it works for this
data set.
I have an attributed string which has an image and a name.
This is the only column in this tableView.
This tableView is contained in a splitView which allows this 'nav'
to be re-sized....
A lot of words to describe something quite similar to iTunes.
As you reduce iTunes playlist column size toward its minimum, the
playlists do a 'tail truncation' on any long text.
How do I achieve that?
What I am seeing regardless of many different settings, is that the
text 'breaks' at the space between the image and wraps to a a second
line.
I have Truncate Tail set in the Text Field Cell for the table column.
Can you achieve this with effect with IB and an attributed string or
is some other code solution necessary?
Thanks for any help!
Steve
