OK, this may be a dumb question, but here goes:

How do I center strings in NSView? Right now I have:

Code:
[string drawAtPoint:NSMakePoint((bounds.size.width/2.0),
				   (bounds.size.height/2.0))
	       withAttributes:attribs];

But this just begins the string at the center. How do I make it so that the whole thing is centered?

Thanks for your help.

Use NSString's sizeWithAttributes: method to get the string's size, and subtract half of those measurements from the measurements you already have above. So something like this:

Code:
NSSize stringSize = [string sizeWithAttributes:attribs];
[string drawAtPoint:NSMakePoint(bounds.size.width/2 - stringSize.width/2, bounds.size.height/2 - stringSize.height/2) withAttributes:attribs];

Great! Thanks, that worked.
