Cocoa in a Nutshell

Name

NSLayoutManager — Mac OS X 10.0

Synopsis

NSLayoutManager is responsible for managing how text is laid out. NSLayoutManager objects manage a set of NSTextContainer objects, and supervise how text is laid out in these containers. Additionally, NSLayoutManager is responsible for mapping Unicode character codes into glyphs that will be displayed in an NSTextView object. In terms of the Model-View-Controller design pattern, NSTextStorage is the model, NSTextView the view, and NSLayoutManager and NSTextContainer are controllers between the data layer and the view layer.
