Thanks to all....

Somehow I assumed it wouldn't be something that is commonly used... now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense that one would need to know the size of a string that is do be drawn!... apparently I should've dig a little deeper! A hearty RTFM to myself! :)

Thanks again...

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?)

Any ideas are welcomed!
