Sure, but still, he's returning a retained CGColorRef. And CGColor participates in this convention (CGColorRelease, CGColorRetain, CGColorCreate etc.). I'm not saying he has to do it; I'm merely suggesting that the magic word "Create" will help him remember what he's trying to remember, namely that he's returning a retained CGColorRef and the caller will need to call CGColorRelease on it later. m._______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
