I'm still confused as to exactly how I should restore or change the context "back to the original" since the original is a CGGraphicsContext. and the only NSGraphicsContext is one I create using the passed in CGGraphicsContext. It seems like a catch-22. I can't draw the text without creating an NSGraphicsContext and I can't restore a calling NSGraphicsContext because the calling context is a CGGraphics context which doesn't work with [NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext: nsContext]; Any pointers? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
