I'm drawing a string to screen and I want to get the height if I specify a

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 );
