He, when I draw Text into my view like this:
NSMutableDictionary *textAttrib = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[textAttrib setObject:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Light" size:15] forKey:NSFontAttributeName];
[textAttrib setObject:[NSColor grayColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
[mouseString drawAtPoint:textPoint withAttributes:textAttrib];
how can I change the alignment of the text? I just need simple left/right alignment and can't find any info about that, only in textfields. Thanks!
There is no such concept of alignment with the [NSString drawAtPoint:withAttributes:]
method, and this makes sense if you think about it. Alignment is concept of how a string appears relative to the content of a control (classically an NSTextField
).
You could, however, try [NSString drawInRect:withAttributes:]
where that concept does exist. See this SO question.
UPDATE: This question isn't complete without the (now deleted) answer given by @justin, which shows how to set the text alignment in an NSAttributedString
. Both are answers are correct, but neither is complete.
