I'm drawing a string to screen and I want to get the height if I specify a
specific width. I'm drawing the string by using the NSString drawInRect:
withAttributes:. I do not see how I can get the height after the text has
wrapped. I have looked at  NSString sizeWithAttributes, but there does not
appear to be away to set the width so I can compute the height the text will
take up.
Any ideas?


Try this:

NSRect	mySize = NSMakeSize( myWidth, 0.0 );
NSRect bounds = [myString boundingRectWithSize: mySize
	options: NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin
	attributes: myAtts];
float	theHeight = NSHeight( bounds );
