Given any arbitrary, one-line string, my goal is to render it into a bitmap representation. However, I have no means of finding out its dimensions beforehand, so I am reduced to getting the glyph range's bounding rect and resizing my canvas if it's not large enough. Unfortunately, if the canvas is not wide enough for the string, but ta...

It contains : a table view on left, menu items on top, text field on right bottom and text view at central portion on right side.

If I just choose File->Print, the default layout will render as much text as will fit onto the page, more than just 25 lines. I understand that I can use an...

What my problem is: The methods for determining the total 'glyph-width' seem to be incorrect because when I render the text it wraps. I did an experiment using a 32 character string wit...
I'm working with a NSTextView and have a delegate set for its -textStorage property. Upon receipt of -textStorageDidProcessEditing: I need to apply attributes to portions of the text. My attributes are being applied, but they are always applied to the text before I made the edit, even though I'm invoking NSLayoutManager's methods not f...
