Graham's suggestion is also better because -[NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:] just releases the context that was previously current, as opposed to autoreleasing it.
So this has a bug: NSGraphicsContext *originalContext = [NSGraphicsContext currentContext]; [NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:newContext]; // bad! originalContext may get deallocated here // do stuff [NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:originalContext]; -Ken On Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 9:02 PM, Graham Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 28 Jul 2008, at 11:05 am, Ken Tozier wrote: >> >> Saving/restoring the context with >> >> *oldContext = [NSGraphicsContext currentContext]; >> >> [NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext: oldContext]; >> >> Did the trick.
