The view transform seems to be the best approach to me. To make sure that performance is good enough, log the time elapsed before and after the operation so you have a good idea how long the operation really takes. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
