OK This looks more along the lines of what I want to be doing, as opposed to
having to create contexts and draw in to them to get the data, which is awkward
and seems very backwards. I follow you as far as creating the CGImageRef --
yes, I see how I pull in an image file and dictate to read data in as float as
opposed to byte-length integers....
However, what do I do with img?? I don't see anything in any of the CG*
documentation for me getting an array of floats "out of" a CGImageRef. What
would the next step be for me to access this data? Or are you simply
suggesting this is another way that I can get a JPG in to a data type to then
write out to a context?
I'm sorry if I didn't mention this before but, while I've read as deeply as I
can in the docs, I am completely new to cocoa and even more new to
CG/CI/Quartz/etc

I guess it's being created; CGBitmapContextCreate documentation states for
return value I either get a bitmap context or NULL if it can't be created... I
do get a valid pointer returned that I'm able to use. When using
KCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast I get better results .. maybe? Also I'm now
using the NSGraphicsContext code suggested by Jens
00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
^^ is repeated for my entire block of memory, after I draw my image on to the
context. Definitely not the data I'm expecting.
..My code now looks like:
[.. load up and display CIImage myImage so I can verify it's correct]
CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(rawData, width, height,
bitsPerComponent, bytesPerRow, colorSpace, kCGBitmapFloatComponents |
kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast );
NSGraphicsContext *nsContext = [NSGraphicsContext
graphicsContextWithGraphicsPort:context flipped: NO];
[NSGraphicsContext saveGraphicsState];
[NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext: nsContext];
// Should be, and certainly seems to be, drawing to the context created above,
with data stored in rawData
[myImage drawInRect:[self bounds] fromRect:[self bounds]
operation:NSCompositeSourceIn fraction:1.0];
