How to write NSString to the NSView?

I can write to iOS using something similar(UI instead of NS). But fails for OSX?

NSString *sText = @"Hello";
[sText drawInRect:CGRectMake(x, y, 150, 20) withFont:[NSFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fSize]]; 
// No visible @interface for 'NSString' declares the selector 'drawInRect:withFont:'

Another approach: using "drawAtPoint":

You need to use NSAttributedString properties on OS X:

NSString *sText = @"Hello";
[sText drawInRect:CGRectMake(x, y, 150, 20) withAttributes: @{ NSFontAttributeName : 
                                             [NSFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fSize] }];
