I am trying to set an attributed string within NSTextView. I want to increase its height based on its content, initially it is set to some default value.
So I tried
+ (float)heightForString:(NSString *)myString font:(NSFont *)myFont andWidth:(float)myWidth andPadding:(float)padding {
NSTextStorage *textStorage = [[NSTextStorage alloc] initWithString:myString];
NSTextContainer *textContainer = [[NSTextContainer alloc] initWithContainerSize:NSMakeSize(myWidth, FLT_MAX)];
NSLayoutManager *layoutManager = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];
[layoutManager addTextContainer:textContainer];
[textStorage addLayoutManager:layoutManager];
[textStorage addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:myFont
range:NSMakeRange(0, textStorage.length)];
textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = padding;
(void) [layoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:textContainer];
return [layoutManager usedRectForTextContainer:textContainer].size.height;
}
I did the function using this reference: Documentation
Example:
float width = textView.frame.size.width - 2 * textView.textContainerInset.width;
float proposedHeight = [Utils heightForString:textView.string font:textView.font andWidth:width
andPadding:textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding];
