The problem is, I think, that the view is not automatically invalidated when 
the app is inactivated or activated. Therefore what you see is whatever it was 
in its previous state. You need to listen for the activation/inactivation 
notification, and invalidate the view.

Stenography? Writing using shorthand? Did you mean Steganography?

vImage is powerful and very low level. It's probably unnecessary for 
steganography. Just create or obtain the bitmap for the image and manipulate 
its bits. A bitmap is wrapped by NSBitmapImageRep which is wrapped by NSImage. 
You can load an image (for a JPEG, say) very easily using NSImage, get its 
NSBitmapImageRep, get the bitmap buffer, change the bits and write it out.

If you really did mean Stenography, perhaps you could explain what you want. I 
imagine stenography is possible using a custom font and a NSTextView, though 
parsing plain text into its stenographic form is more an exercise in tokenising 
the input text and mapping that to stenographic units. 

Beyond that, you probably need to ask more specific questions.

You can use categories to add functionality to existing *classes*, but
you shouldn't use it to override or replace *methods* that are already
implemented in those classes.

You probably get get what you need form the WWDC references already given but 
the following might still be useful.
http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/113955-graphics-in-nstextview-ichat-like-bubbles.html?q=nstextview+draw+bubble#114075

Of course, overriding drawViewBackgroundInRect, will draw your lines behind the 
text, which may be acceptable.
Another approach is to add a subview to the NSTextView instance and do all your 
drawing there.
I use this approach to draw a simple Quartz 2D animation over an NSTextView.

Obviously you need to make your drawing sub view non opaque.
You also will need to resize your subview as the NSTextView size changes by 
requesting that the appropriate NSView notifications be sent.

In my case I make my child view modify its behaviour if it is embedded in an 
NSTextView.

// in NSTextView subview
if ([[self superview] isKindOfClass:[NSTextView class]]) {

// get the text view
_textView = (id)[self superview];
[_textView setAutoresizesSubviews:YES];

// set scrollview background drawing behaviour
[[self enclosingScrollView] setDrawsBackground:NO];

// observe changes to the scrollview content bounds.
// see "How Scroll Views Work" in the docs
[[[self enclosingScrollView] contentView] 
setPostsBoundsChangedNotifications:YES];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
selector:@selector(scrollContentBoundsChanged:) 
name:NSViewBoundsDidChangeNotification object:[[self enclosingScrollView] 
contentView]];

[_textView setPostsFrameChangedNotifications:YES];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self 
selector:@selector(scrollContentBoundsChanged:) 
name:NSViewFrameDidChangeNotification object:_textView];

// turn on layer backed views for this view
// and all subviews.
//
// this works fine but the cpu usage can be very high
 
// add a filter
if (_useLayers) {

// create layer for textview and all subviews
[_textView setWantsLayer:YES];

// this works but the overhead is high - cpu usage increases 
from 4 -> 40%
CIFilter *filter = [CIFilter 
filterWithName:@"CIColorBurnBlendMode"];
[self setCompositingFilter:filter];
}

}

Re: NSDocument disc undo stack

2012-04-01 Thread Mike Abdullah
I think it's fair to say this is only true for a 64 bit app. In a 32 bit app, 
it's fairly easy to exhaust your address space if all deleted files are kept 
in-memory.

No easy way I know of. The undo architecture relies on a huge amount of state 
within the app external to the undo stack itself. You'd have to save all of 
that state somehow.

In fact, most apps throw away the undo history on a document save (you arrange 
this), as a way to recover the memory used by undo, since the whole state is 
being saved in the file anyway. Versions are the supported mechanism for 
persistent document undo.

Re: NSDocument disc undo stack

2012-04-01 Thread James Montgomerie
I don't think it's likely to be true in practice on 64-bit systems either.  In 
theory, yes, the old data could get paged out, and will not be paged back in 
until the user uses it. In practice though, unless these pieces of old data are 
big, contiguous buffers taking up pages by themselves, the old data will likely 
live in pages that also contain at least a few things that are at least 
intermittently used, so you'll be constantly paging.

"Google maps"-like zooming of NSScrollView's content view

2012-04-01 Thread Nick
Hello

I am trying to implement a zooming of a content view (actually it is a
PDFView page) using a mouse scrolling wheel.
What I want to have in the end - is to have the final content view
zoomed in or out in a way that the point, where the mouse was located,
does not move during this zooming operation (this point would be some
kind of an anchor around which the rest of the content view should be
zoomed). Here is an example of this: http://maps.google.com

I've managed to make the view zoom in and out using a view's center
point as such an anchor  (this is an example i found on the internet):

float zoomFactor = 1.3;

-(void)zoomIn
{
NSRect visible = [scrollView documentVisibleRect];
NSRect newrect = NSInsetRect(visible, NSWidth(visible)*(1 -
1/zoomFactor)/2.0, NSHeight(visible)*(1 - 1/zoomFactor)/2.0);
NSRect frame = [scrollView.documentView frame];

[scrollView.documentView
scaleUnitSquareToSize:NSMakeSize(zoomFactor, zoomFactor)];
[scrollView.documentView setFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0,
frame.size.width * zoomFactor, frame.size.height * zoomFactor)];

[[scrollView documentView] scrollPoint:newrect.origin];
}

-(void)zoomOut
{
NSRect visible = [scrollView documentVisibleRect];
NSRect newrect = NSOffsetRect(visible,
-NSWidth(visible)*(zoomFactor - 1)/2.0, -NSHeight(visible)*(zoomFactor
- 1)/2.0);

NSRect frame = [scrollView.documentView frame];

[scrollView.documentView
scaleUnitSquareToSize:NSMakeSize(1/zoomFactor, 1/zoomFactor)];
[scrollView.documentView setFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0,
frame.size.width / zoomFactor, frame.size.height / zoomFactor)];

[[scrollView documentView] scrollPoint:newrect.origin];
}

However, I can't figure out how to make zooming like google maps does,
preserving that mouse "anchor" point's location. Could you give me a
hint?

Thank you

Re: "Google maps"-like zooming of NSScrollView's content view

2012-04-01 Thread Alex Zavatone
Dave, while I can see that you may want the mouse wheel to navigate the current 
map, does it not make more sense to allow the mouse wheel to zoom in or out and 
then hold the mouse button down and drag left and right to pan?

If you use the mouse wheel to pan, what is naturally your zoom control?

crash on OS X when popover closes

2012-04-01 Thread Martin Hewitson
Dear list,

I've received a crash report from a customer which I'm unable to reproduce and 
have not heard of from any other user. The action needed for the customer to 
reproduce the crash is such a common one, that it seems that all other

I can't give you readymade example code, but here's the steps:

1) Find the mouse location in the clip view's ( = content view's )
coordinate space. ( [clipView convertPoint:[theEvent locationInWindow]
formView:nil] )
2) Compute the mouse location in fractions of the clip view's bounds.
All the way to the left means x = 0, all the way to the right means x
= 1. Vice versa with y. If the point is equal to the content view's
origin, the fraction point becomes { 0, 0 }, if it's in the center,
you get { 0.5, 0.5 }, if the point's x value equals the
bounds.origin.x + bounds.size.width, and vice versa with y, you get {
1, 1 }.
3) Manipulate the bounds of the content view (NOT the document view),
so that the bounds rectangle gets smaller if you zoom in, larger if
you zoom out. How much you change the content view bound's location is
given by the fraction you found in point 2 (along each axis). How much
you change the bound's size is given by one minus the fraction you
found in point 2. For the fraction point { 0, 0 }, you do not touch
the bound's origin at all. For the fraction point { 1, 1 } you only
change the origin, not the size.

Don't touch the document view's frame or bounds. This way of zooming,
by manipulating the content view's bounds instead of the document
view's frame has worked fine for me in the past. It's usually easier,
I think.

Does it involve displayi g a popover from a fullscreen window and swiping away

Hard-coding the order works in practice — most of the time. Unless I much 
mistake, it doesn't work in principle. Users can change colors and label names, 
and I know of no way to sort colors or names to match what's in the Finder 
preferences. Maybe the permutation of the indices is fixed, but I'd be more 
comfortable if the permutation were documented.

OK, just because I am a naive altruist, I made one for you. This one
takes a zoom factor where 1 is 1:1, 0.5 means half size, 2.0 means
double size, etc. Works on my machine. I haven't checked what happens
if the bounds origin gets negative coordinates. You may want to put in
a little check to prevent that.

-(void)zoom:(float)newFactor event:(NSEvent *)mouseEvent {
NSScrollView *scrollView = [self enclosingScrollView];
NSClipView *clipView = [scrollView contentView];
NSRect clipViewBounds = [clipView bounds];
NSSize clipViewSize = [clipView frame].size;

NSPoint clipLocalPoint = [clipView convertPoint:[mouseEvent
locationInWindow] fromView:nil];

float xFraction = ( clipLocalPoint.x - clipViewBounds.origin.x ) /
clipViewBounds.size.width;
float yFraction = ( clipLocalPoint.y - clipViewBounds.origin.y ) /
clipViewBounds.size.height;

clipViewBounds.size.width = clipViewSize.width / newFactor;
clipViewBounds.size.height = clipViewSize.height / newFactor;

clipViewBounds.origin.x = clipLocalPoint.x - ( xFraction *
clipViewBounds.size.width );
clipViewBounds.origin.y = clipLocalPoint.y - ( yFraction *
clipViewBounds.size.height );

[clipView setBounds:clipViewBounds];

This suggests a memory management bug.  Something is invoking -popoverDidClose: 
on an NSRecursiveLock, which surely isn't what was supposed to receive that 
message.  Usually this happens because the object that was supposed to receive 
it has been deallocated and another object (an NSRecursiveLock, in this case) 
has reused that memory.

The particular memory management bug may be an over-release (or failure to 
retain), but it could also be a failure to unregister an object from observing 
a notification prior to its deallocation.  In this case, it seems as though you 
failed to unset the delegate of the NSPopover prior to the delegate's 
deallocation.  (The NSPopover registers the delegate as an observer of 
NSPopoverDidCloseNotification and would unregister it when you unset the 
delegate.)

Ken

You could have buttons on the screen to zoom in and out , as in google maps and 
use the scroll wheel to pan, but it appears that Apple is pushing the 
control-less pan/zooming.

Gestures to zoom ala pinch and single finger swipes to pan.

Anyway, it's Sunday.  Back to work.

This looks similar to Radar 10434539. Let me know if this works: simplify the

Users cannot change the Finder label colors, only the label names.

Though, I was wrong; My code actually is relying on pre-10.6 path 
FSSetCatalogInfo to set the file label. Oops. :)

But as you say, in practice it'll work. The order doesn't make any sense to me 
either, but the label names and colors don't change their index in 10.7 or 10.6 
so you can rely on it. I doubt they've changed for 10.8 either.

It looks like the popup may have already been deallocated. That's where my

There's no way to tell, really. For all I know, the Open or Save panels might 
use NSMatrix. Or the Find panel or the font panel. Heck, I believe in the old 
days of OpenStep, menus were implemented as NSMatrixes of menu item cells.

Also, if you ever need to add another different NSMatrix somewhere else in your 
app, you're now SOL because you'll now have to rip out the category method and 
re-implement your code the right way using subclassing.

> Although I do [super drawRect] after my own drawing.

That won't call the old NSMatrix drawRect, it'll call the drawRect of the 
superclass of NSMatrix, which is NSControl. You've effectively deleted the 
original NSMatrix drawRect implementation, so it's impossible to call it 
without some tricky gymnastics. One more time: a category doesn't override a 
method, it replaces it. It literally edits the class's method table to replace 
the old function pointer with the new one. The only way to properly override a 
method, in the OOP sense, is to make a subclass.

Activating/deactivating an app does not force all of its views to redraw! That 
would be really expensive. If you want your view to change appearance when this 
happens, you'll have to listen for the right notification and call 
-setNeedsDisplay:. That's what controls that update their appearance when 
active/inactive do.

Also, you probably don't want the appearance to be based on whether the app is 
active or inactive; that would be rather weird and nonstandard. Instead, base 
it on whether the window is key.
