About a month ago I asked a question here that had to do with
dynamically creating -- at run time -- new instances of NSImage with
portions that were partially or wholly transparent. Thanks to the
help received, I solved my problem by another means, but I eventually
did find out that there appears to be a documented way to do what I
wanted, well hidden in a tech note. (Not so much well hidden as that
I did not happen to use search terms that might have found it.) I
thought I ought to mention it.
The note in question is this one:
http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Cocoa/AppKitOlderNotes.html
Within it, scan for "NSView Drawing Redirection API (Section added
since WWDC)".
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like exactly what I was asking
for in the first place.
