I was very mistaken.

I now do this:

                m_textAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionary];
[m_textAttributes setObject:[NSFont systemFontOfSize:12.0] forKey:NSFontAttributeName]; NSMutableParagraphStyle *pStyle = [[NSMutableParagraphStyle new] autorelease];
                [pStyle setAlignment:NSRightTextAlignment];
[m_textAttributes setObject:pStyle forKey:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName];


However the text is not right justified when I do:

[m_obstacleName drawInRect:cellFrame withAttributes:m_textAttributes];

Is this the correct way to right justify text in an NSTextFieldCell?

I want to make a NSDictionary of text attributes to apply to text being drawn in a NSTextFieldCell.

This

m_textAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [NSFont systemFontOfSize:12.0], NSFontAttributeName, NSRightTextAlignment, NSTextAlignment, nil];

gives this error:

error: syntax error before 'NSTextAlignment'

NSRightTextAlignment is not an object and so can't be stored in a dictionary. You could wrap it in an NSNumber. I don't know to what purpose you intend to put the resulting dictionary. That ultimate use would dictate whether an NSNumber can be used.
