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.
ObjC 2.0 and Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) are mandatory.
This project has only been tested with Xcode 6. It's unknown if this works with older versions.
There are no dependencies other than the Cocoa framework.
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.
