Thanks for the feedback on this.

I have gone with using a ...AsString attribute and using NSRectFromString. Seems to work okay, although I've got no idea if it's the most efficient method. I think Core Data seems a little limited in that you can't store an NSValue object as an attribute, I'd have thought that would be obvious, as we use that class to store structs in collection objects....

I hadn't considered localisation issues, but on my machine it stores the data like so in an XML store:

<attribute name="extentasstring" type="string">{{368, 260}, {2, 5}}</attribute> <attribute name="centreofmassasstring" type="string">{368.75, 263.25}</attribute>

which seems to make sense.

Cheers
Dan

Potentially? Maybe. But I just tried it, and for me NSStringFromRect() never uses localized separators. So, since it always gives and takes periods as the decimal separator, I see no problem. Do you have a particular test case where it behaves differently?
