UITextView line height

Question

Not sure if that was mentioned before, but I could not find the answer anywhere.

I have UITextView with bunch of text (about 130 lines) varies, I need to get height of 5 lines of that text in my UITextView

I didn't get what is your issue, do you need to set multiple line heights? or one for the 5 lines? — piyuj, Sep 24 '15 at 14:40
You may be able to translate the height of one line given its font size. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11776767/what-exactly-is-uifonts-point-size — joels, Sep 24 '15 at 14:46
Use `textView.firstRectForRange` passing in your range of text. This will return a CGRect and you can get the height from that. — Rory McKinnel, Sep 24 '15 at 14:51

I would add self.font!.lineHeight*5+textView.textContainerInset.top to add top margin – Andrius Steponavičius Sep 24 '15 at 15:12
