Vertical align with CoreText?

Question

How do I change the vertical alignment of the text in a CTFramesetter frame? I want my text to be in the middle instead of being at the top. I am using CoreText framework. There is a setting of the paragraph to change horizontal aligment but not vertical.

Finally figured it out ...

CGRect boundingBox = CTFontGetBoundingBox(font);

//Get the position on the y axis
float midHeight = self.frame.size.height / 2;
midHeight -= boundingBox.size.height / 2;

CGPathAddRect(path, NULL, CGRectMake(0, midHeight, self.frame.size.width, boundingBox.size.height));
