NSLabel

This project aims at replicating the most important features of the famous UILabel on Mac OS X.

It's biggest advantage compared to NSTextField is a more lightweight memory and CPU footprint and a near pixel perfect rendering. I.e. the intrinsicContentSize matches the actual frame of the text and the baselineOffsetFromBottom is correctly computed and can be used with Auto Layout.

Requirements

  • macOS 10.7 or newer
  • Xcode 6 or newer

Dependencies

There are no dependencies other than the AppKit framework.

Usage

Simply include NSLabel.h/.m in your project and use it like the UILabel class. BUT remember that not all features are supported. See the Header file for more information about which properties currently are.
