NSAttributedString attribues misbehaving
-
I'm drawing some NSAttributedString's in a NSTextView with
[NSLayoutManager drawGlyphsForGlyphRange:atPoint:].
I set the text color by setting NSForegroundColorAttributeName in an
attributes dictionary and calling [NSTextView setTypingAttibutes:].
OK so far, works as expected. But then I also set
NSStrokeColorAttributeName
and NSStrokeWidthAttributeName to outline the text in a contrasting
color.
I get my outline... but the fill disappears.
Is there a reason for ignoring a requested attribute ?

Text Edit with the font panel I've come to the conclusion that there
is no way to stroke and fill in one operation. I even tried setting
the background color hoping it would fill with that but no luck. I
think you're either stuck drawing your strings twice (once for fill,
once for stroke) or using the lower level stuff and rendering the
glyph paths directly.

The value of NSStrokeWidthAttributeName controls this. It should be a
float-valued NSNumber, of which the absolute value controls the stroke
width, and the sign controls the drawing mode; a positive value causes
drawing using stroke alone, a negative value causes stroke and fill
drawing, and zero (or no value) causes fill only. If
NSForegroundColorAttributeName is present, it is used as the fill color
(if fill is drawn); if it is absent, the fill color is black (if fill
is drawn). If NSStrokeColorAttributeName is present, it is the color
used for the stroke (if stroke is drawn); if it is absent, the fill
color is also used for the stroke (if stroke is drawn). See
<AppKit/NSAttributedString.h>.

Thanks for the quick reply. That did the trick.
