NSTextContainer with fixed width and growing height

• Vera Wahler NSTextContainer with fixed width and growing height Aug 25 2004, 17:12
  Hi,
  
  I am using a NSTextView. The corresponding NSTextContainer should have a fixed
  width (which is smaller than the textviews width).
  The height of the container should grow with text it should show.
  My first try was to set the containerSize to a fixed size and I wanted to
  resize the containers height if it is to small to show the whole text.
  Therefore I tried a several things
  - the usedRectForTextContainer from NSTextLayout doesn't seem to work the way I
  wanted because it seems that the rect is never greater than the containerSize
  - boundingRectForGlyphRange didn't work either
  - locationForGlyphAtIndex and glyphRangeForTextContainer didn't help
  I think there exists an easy way to check if the attributedString does fit into
  the textContainer and I hope perhaps someone can help me.
  Searching the web I found an ObjectiveC-method size() for NSAttributedString
  but this method doesn't exists in Java :-(
  Of course I can walk through the lines of the string and count each lines
  height, add the container insets... but I think there is a better way.
  
  Thanks for help
  
  Vera

  This is provided for automatically.  See the TextSizingExample for

  Hi Douglas Davidson,
  
  The TextSizingExample is not what I need. I have got a different problem.
  My NSTextView has a fixed width (for example 500). But the corresponding
  NSTextContainer should only have a width of 200.
  The size of the NSTextView never changes so I can't work with
  setHeightTracksTextView().
  In my case only the NSTextStorage changes and I want to know if the
  NSTextStorage fits into the NSTextContainer.
  Another try was NSGraphics.sizeOfAttributedString().
  My NSTextStorage consists of multiple lines and different Fonts and Sizes and
  it seems that the above method can't handle this.
