NSDictionaryController and inserting new objects.

Rotating a bunch of images

Hi Jack, the most effective way to do this is by using Jerry Krinock's NS(Attributed)String+Geometrics categories [1]. Using this, you can determine the height or width of your text and size your window (and NSTextField) appropriately. Nick [1] http://sheepsystems.com/sourceCode On 31
