It's really another case of a poor choice of terminology, isn't it? (By "another" I am referring to my recent critique on this list of the confusing over-use of the term "key" throughout the animation stuff.) Here we are in a graphics world, so the user must be forgiven for supposing that "context" is asking for a graphics context. If the name-mongers had used "contextInfo" as elsewhere in Cocoa, the purpose of this parameter would have been much more obvious. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
