You could create an array of objects grouping the parameters of your strings For example:
typedef struct { NSAttributedString *text; // it already contains color and font NSPoint position; } MyObj; Or you can even create your own class MyObj The you create the array containing a bunch of these objects MyObj NSMutableArray *mStrings = [[NSMutableArray array] retain]; for(i = 0; i < totStrings; i++){ create the object MyObj set string, color and positions add to the array [mStrings addObject:anObj]; } Then on the drawRect: method of your NSView you iterate through the array mStrings and draw the strings with their parameters. - (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect { [super drawRect:rect]; for(anObj in mStrings ){ [anObj.text drawAtPoint:anObj.position]; } } Regards -- Leonardo _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
