Hello all,

i have a very noob question about the MCV model to display a data file in a 
view.

I'm trying to implement Model-Controller-View. So, so far I created a class 
called FilterBank that will contain all the data to be plotted plus a method to 
init from a file. Then I included one instance of the class FilterBank in the 
myDocument class in the readFromURL: method . When I open a file, myDocument 
will read and load all the data to the class calling the initFromFile: method 
of FilterBank, and that works ok. 

Then I can subclass NSView to hold and plot the image using NSImageRep, etc. 

My problem is with the controller. I subclassed NSViewController (with the name 
FilterBankViewController) and tried to bind the class with the file's owner. 
But I noticed that in IB I cannot do that, actually the bind tab says it's "Not 
Applicable". 

I don't understand why though, b/c I learned in a tutorial (that loads data 
from a file and puts that into a table), that you need an NSArrayController to 
mediate between the table and the file owner.  What kind of controller should I 
use here? How does the view get notified that it should redraw itself and how 
can I pass the information so that the view knows what to draw?


Thanks._______________________________________________
