How to resize NSTextView according to its content?

I am trying to set an attributed string within NSTextView. I want to increase its height based on its content, initially it is set to some default value.

So I tried this method:

I set content in NSTextView. When we set some content in NSTextView its size automatically increases. So I increased height of its super view that is NSScrollView to its height, but NSScrollView is not getting completely resized, it is showing scroller on right.

float xCoordinate = 15.0;

[xContentViewScroller setFrame:NSMakeRect(xCoordinate, 0.0, 560.0, 10.0)];

[[xContentView textStorage] setAttributedString:xContents];

float xContentViewScrollerHeight = [xfContentView frame].size.height + 2;

[xContentViewScroller setFrame:NSMakeRect(xCoordinate, 0.0, 560.0, xContentViewScrollerHeight)]; 

Can anyone suggest me some way or method to resolve this issue开发者_运维问答. By doing google search I found that in UITextView there is contentSize method which can get size of its content, I tried to find similar method in NSTextView but could not get any success :(

Based on @Peter Hosey's answer, here is an extension to NSTextView in Swift 4.2:

extension NSTextView {

    var contentSize: CGSize {
        get {
            guard let layoutManager = layoutManager, let textContainer = textContainer else {
                print("textView no layoutManager or textContainer")
                return .zero
            }

            layoutManager.ensureLayout(for: textContainer)
            return layoutManager.usedRect(for: textContainer).size
        }
    }
}

NSTextView *textView = [[NSTextView alloc] init];
textView.font = [NSFont systemFontOfSize:[NSFont systemFontSize]];
textView.string = @"Lorem ipsum";

[textView.layoutManager ensureLayoutForTextContainer:textView.textContainer];

textView.frame = [textView.layoutManager usedRectForTextContainer:textView.textContainer];

+ (float)heightForString:(NSString *)myString font:(NSFont *)myFont andWidth:(float)myWidth andPadding:(float)padding {
     NSTextStorage *textStorage = [[NSTextStorage alloc] initWithString:myString];
     NSTextContainer *textContainer = [[NSTextContainer alloc] initWithContainerSize:NSMakeSize(myWidth, FLT_MAX)];
     NSLayoutManager *layoutManager = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];
     [layoutManager addTextContainer:textContainer];
     [textStorage addLayoutManager:layoutManager];
     [textStorage addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:myFont
                    range:NSMakeRange(0, textStorage.length)];
     textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = padding;

     (void) [layoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:textContainer];
     return [layoutManager usedRectForTextContainer:textContainer].size.height;
}

I did the function using this reference: Documentation

Example:

float width = textView.frame.size.width - 2 * textView.textContainerInset.width;
float proposedHeight = [Utils heightForString:textView.string font:textView.font andWidth:width
                                   andPadding:textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding];
