Expanding even more on my previous point, take a look at this screen shot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/39/truncationtest.png/
The first rectangle is a self-drawing NSAttributedString. It draws and truncates its first line only. The second rectangle is a UILabel drawing the very same attributed string. Oddly, it is multiline and truncates the last line. I suppose this is because it's trying to imitate what it used to do before attributed strings came along on iOS. But... The third rectangle is a UILabel too, and it has given up on that whole multiline thing and goes back to the NSAttributedString way of doing it - the second paragraph is shown only in its first line, which is truncated. I suppose this is because the UILabel just can't cope with having two paragraphs styled in two different ways. Thus we get a threeway inconsistency. UILabel is inconsistent in the first instance with how an attributed string draws itself, but in the second instance UILabel is inconsistent with itself. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, http://www.apeth.net/matt/ pantes anthropoi tou eidenai oregontai phusei Programming iOS 5! http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023562.do RubyFrontier! http://www.apeth.com/RubyFrontierDocs/default.html TidBITS, Mac news and reviews since 1990, http://www.tidbits.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
