text alignment

[mkchoi212]

Tried using .textalignment but didn't work and I couldn't see any attributes with NSTextContainer that dealt with text alignment.

Is this possible?

Looks like a bug, good catch! In the mean time, you can create an NSMutableParagraphStyle and set the alignment property, and then set that object in the attributes dictionary of your NSAttributedString using the NSParagraphStyleAttributeName key.

@indragiek Cool, thanks for the suggestion!

 var txtstyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
        txtstyle.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Center

        let RTFPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("text", ofType: "rtf")!
        let RTFData = NSData(contentsOfFile: RTFPath)!
        let options = [NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSRTFTextDocumentType, NSParagraphStyleAttributeName : txtstyle]

        policyLabel.numberOfLines = 0
        policyLabel.attributedText = NSAttributedString(data: RTFData, options: options, documentAttributes: nil, error: nil)
        policyLabel.delegate = self

Just tried this and it didn't work!

NSParagraphStyleAttributeName is a key that can't be passed in the options parameter as you have there. In this case, you will need to create an NSMutableAttributedString and apply the attribute like this:

let attrString = NSMutableAttributedString(data: RTFData, options: options, documentAttributes: nil, error: nil)
attrString.addAttribute(NSParagraphStyleAttributeName, value: style, range: NSMakeRange(0, attrString.length))
policyLabel.attributedText = attrString;

@indragiek Thanks! Got it to work

This ticket shouldn't be closed. Is still an issue :)

@raulriera Good point!
