How to get all attributes for -[NSString sizeWithAttributes:]

Question

So that I can calculate the intrinsicContentSize of a UITextView, I'm wondering how to get all the attributes of an attributed string so I can pass them to -[NSString sizeWithAttributes:]?

Dude, am I missing something here? Why not just use -[NSAttributedString size]? Also, check out UITextView NSAttributedString Size.

I think just `size` is kinda useless. in 99% of the cases you want to supply a constraint, no? so: I'd use `boundingRectWithSize:options:context:` – Daij-Djan Oct 12 '13 at 20:34
+ op has a string. not an attributed string – Daij-Djan Oct 12 '13 at 20:35

You can get the attributes for the textview by getting it's attributedString and then getting the attributes of it:

NSDictionary *attrs = aTextView.attributedText.attributes

ELSE you can get the font of the textview. (if it isn't richtext, thats enough)

NSDictionary *attrs = @{NSFontAttributeName: aTextView.font };

BUT if you want the size just call boundingRectWithSize:options:context: on the attributedString you have.
