Addendum: I did implement my own transform to flip the drawing. As far
as I can tell, the "initialFlippedState" parameter in NSGraphicsContext
*)graphicsContextWithGraphicsPort:(void *)graphicsPort
flipped:(BOOL)initialFlippedState has no impact whatsoever. Bug report
time?
Another thing that does not seem to work is CALayer's
setNeedsDisplayInRect:. SetNeedsDisplay does work and updates the visible
layer while you draw or modify a shape. Apparently, setNeedsDisplayInRect
is intended to accumulate calls until something flushes it to the screen. I
tried using "display" even though the ref. Doc. says don't call it, and the
new Hillegasse book does it anyway, but it didn't help.
