I have seen no indication from the OP that he is trying to draw a transparent window. All he's said is that he wants an L-shaped view. > Filling a rect DOES NOT NUKE anything, you simply need to override the > defaults which are optimized for rectangular non transparencies areas to > make them faster.

If you have a transparent window, that's probably what you want. But a lot of people operate under the mistaken belief that each view is drawn into its own backing store, and then all the views' backing stores are composited together. Such a setup would make it safe for views in opaque windows to blithely clear their backing stores, but because this is not the case, filling with clearColor is probably not what you want. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
