Doesn't seem to work; Using the following code, I really get wildly differing
results. (cleaned up a lot)
selArray = [mySelection selectionsByLine];
if(selArray != nil) saCnt = [selArray count];
// get the start of the range
ps1 = [selArray objectAtIndex: 0];
page1 = [[ps1 pages] objectAtIndex: 0];
p1 = (int) [[myView document] indexForPage: page1];
//get the bounds for the start of the range
r1 = [ps1 boundsForPage: cpage];
pnt1 = r1.origin;
//convert point to character index
dx1 = [cpage characterIndexAtPoint: pnt1];
//ps cocoa-dev: this seems to work
//do the last point
ps1 = [selArray lastObject];
page2 = [[ps1 pages] objectAtIndex: 0];
p2 = [[myView document] indexForPage: cpage];
r2 = [ps1 boundsForPage: page2]; //this seems to give the wrong
bounds
pnt1 = NSMakePoint((float) NSMaxX(r2), (float) NSMinY(r2));
//or maybe this is the wrong point to use?
dx2 = [cpage characterIndexAtPoint: pnt1];
selRange = NSMakeRange(dx1, dx2-dx1); //I know this is too
simple; but for now only dealing with selections on a single page.
