No slower than the kind of layout the text system is already doing in most apps. :) I think all you need to do is measure each number once. Find the offset in the string of the decimal point, measure the width of the substring before it, then move that far to the left of your desired decimal guideline before drawing the entire string. If you want to find the maximum width, then you'll also need to measure the width of the entire string. (Don't just measure the width of the substring starting at the decimal point and add that to the first width; due to factors like kerning, you can't add substring widths that way.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
