The NSScreen docs say: "Converts a rectangle in global screen coordinates to a pixel aligned rectangle." with the input rect being "in global screen coordinates". The NSWindow and NSView docs are identical and both say: "Returns a backing store pixel aligned rectangle in window coordinates." with the input rect being "in view coordinates". The NSWindow docs must be wrong (looks like a copy-paste error), since it's never specified *which* view's coordinates are used. The other docs might be wrong too for all I know; hard to speculate since I don't know what this method is used for. --Andy _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
