Getting wrapped height from CoreText (Core Text->General)

You're drawing wrapped text in a simple rectangle in CoreText, and you want to figure out the height of it. (fixed width, flexible height).

    CTFramesetterRef fsetter = CTFramesetterCreateWithAttributedString (attrString);

    CFRange fitRange;
    CGSize frameSize =
        CTFramesetterSuggestFrameSizeWithConstraints (fsetter,
                                                      CFRangeMake (0, 0),
                                                      NULL,  // frame attributes
                                                      CGSizeMake (rect.size.width,
                                                                  CGFLOAT_MAX),
                                                      &fitRange);

fitRange is the range of characters that fit in. Given a height of CGFLOAT_MAX, this should be the entire string. frameSize is the width and height the text will be wrapped in. A { 0, 0} range means to use the whole string.
