Hi, In a cocoa application that I'm developing I have a custom NSView subclass that I use as an overlay view for annotating a WebView. The overlay view draws semi-trasparent rectangles in its drawRect: method for DOM elements that were selected by the user.
Since the fill color for the drawn rectangles is semi-transparent, the pixel values get added up when a smaller rectangle is drawn over a larger one (here's an example http://cl.ly/4fecb8fac0abff6ef6ac , as you can see the smaller rectangle has a darker background because of the larger rectangle, that was drawn first). This is especially problematic if the rectangles are of different colors, since color mixing occurs. I would like to prevent this sort of behavior by somehow "erasing" the content that was perviously drawn (i.e., making the background transparent again) before drawing with a new element. Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this? Thank you for your time. Best regards, Matej
