Font Color In CTLineDraw?

2008-09-02 Thread Mike Rossetti
Are there limitations on what kind of text can be drawn using CTLineDraw in a Quartz context? I'm finding it impossible to set the font color. Here is some code I've been experimenting with: ... NSFontDescriptor *fontDesc = [NSFontDescriptor fontDescriptorWithFontAttributes: [NSD

Before I spend a lot of time attempting the following I would appreciate any advice based on your experience: I've got a drawing-like application where I'd like the user to be able to rotate individual elements of the drawing. When the mouse is hovering over an element I draw a manipulatio

Highlight Layer on Mouseover

I've been putting together a drawing package using layers and having a terrific time! But I'd appreciate a bit of guidance on the recommended approach for highlighting a layer as the mouse moves over the layer. This is intended to give the user positive feedback as to which drawing elemen

Interesting NSPathControl Behavior

2008-05-01 Thread Mike Rossetti
So I've discovered an interesting behavior in NSPathControl and am wondering if it warrants a Radar. I'm building up my own presentation of the file path to be shown in the NSPathControl. Specifically, if the file for which the path is being presented is in some standard location then I'm

@dynamic and Programmatic Access to Setters

2008-04-17 Thread Mike Rossetti
I'm a bit confused by @dynamic and hoping there's a simple explanation. My little project has a data model and a custom class (Tip) for one of the classes in the model. The Tip interface defines the attributes, one of which is: @property (retain) NSString *tipName; Tip's implementation
