How to get height for NSAttributedString at a fixed width

Question

I want to do some drawing of NSAttributedStrings in fixed-width boxes, but am having trouble calculating the right height they\'ll take up when drawn. So far, I\'ve tried:

Answer 1

Use NSAttributedString method

- (CGRect)boundingRectWithSize:(CGSize)size options:(NSStringDrawingOptions)options context:(NSStringDrawingContext *)context

The size is the constraint on the area, the calculated area width is restricted to the specified width whereas the height is flexible based on this width. One can specify nil for context if that's not available. To get multi-line text size, use NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin for options.
