Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what saveGraphicsState does, behind
the scenes, but I actually need to draw into the passed in
CGPDFContext, not any sort of view/image/winbow context. Best I can
figure, this requires a forced context switch, not just saving and
restoring the graphics state of whatever context happens to be
current.
I couldn't find any way to draw into a CGGraphicsContext with NSxxx
drawing commands without first creating a new context from the
CGContext and second manually setting this context to be the current
one. Is there a better/cleaner way?
OK, so you need to do something like this (typed into mail)
- (void) myDrawStuffInContext:(CGContextRef) aContext
{
[NSGraphicsContext saveGraphicsState];
NSGraphicsContext* myNSContext = [NSGraphcsContext
graphicsContextWithGraphicsPort:aContext flipped:NO]; // make
NSGraphicsContext from CGContext
[NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:myNSContext]; // switch to
this context
/* do all my drawing */
[NSGraphicsContext restoreGraphicsState];
}
