I'm working on implementing a (very) simple screensaver using the Screensaver framework in OS X 10.10. Positioning on the center of the screen and displaying a two-line text works without problem, but setting the alignment to NSCenterTextAlignment somehow doesn't (the text is always displayed left-aligned).
- (void)animateOneFrame
{
// calculate font size based on screen
NSSize size = [self bounds].size;
CGFloat fontsize = size.height / 11;
// set text
NSMutableParagraphStyle *centredStyle = [[NSParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle] mutableCopy];
[centredStyle setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
NSDictionary *textAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSFont fontWithName:@"Futura" size:fontsize], NSFontAttributeName,
[NSColor orangeColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
centredStyle, NSParagraphStyleAttributeName,
nil];
NSString *theText = @"Simple text spanning\ntwo lines";
// position text on screen
NSRect boundingRect = [theText boundingRectWithSize:size options:0 attributes:textAttributes];
NSPoint point = NSMakePoint((size.width - boundingRect.size.width) / 2.0,
(size.height - boundingRect.size.height) / 2.0);
[theText drawAtPoint: point withAttributes: textAttributes];
}
Any pointers on how to solve this are appreciated.
PS: I know that I don't need to put everything into animateOneFrame but for the moment the goal is to get it working at all:-)
