Rendering CoreText within an irregular shape

Question

I\'m looking for guidance on implementing a view that renders an NSAttributedString within a polygon with holes, wrapping and reflowing text to fit the geometry

Answer 1

I wrote a blog post about achieving text wrap with Core Text:

The feature is new in iOS 4.3 and MacOS X Lion. You can now firstly draw inside non-rectangular paths, and secondly pass in other paths to mask the flow (i.e. be the holes you wrap around).
