I know this might seem like a weird idea, but I need to figure out
the size (width and height) of an NSAttributedString that I am
drawing... basically I need to know it because I am drawing it
inside a larger image and I need to position it... however the
string can be of any font/size/length... is there a way to do this??
I'm guessing the height would probably be the font's point? (i.e.
font size 24 would result in a height of 24pt?) how about the
width? any way to find that out before drawing it? (or even after
drawing it to an intermediate image if I really need to?)
From "NSAttributedString Application Kit Additions Reference":
size
Returns the bounding box of the marks that the receiver draws.
- (NSSize)size
Works for me, at least in recent OS incarnations.
