  You'd have to write your own method to do this - usually named "-
sizeToFit" as in NSBox, NSControl, NSText, etc. If your view contains 
subviews, then your "sizeToFit" method might iterate through them 
all, using NSUnionRect() to keep adding up all their frames. Then you 
can adjust your "container" view accordingly.

  If you're doing custom drawing, etc. then you should already know 
the metrics of all your graphical elements since you had to determine 
where to draw them in the first place.

  It entirely depends on what your view contains and how it's built. 
Without further details, it's hard to make a solid suggestion.
