I don't believe that my 'close' problem is explained by an awkward
init -- as I said before, all of the other U/I operations of the nib
"SPlotWindow.nib" are working as expected (so somehow I've dodged a
potential bullet, at least so far).
Re: "[splotView setFrame:NSMakeRect(50,50,50,50)]; // or whatever you
want the frame to be"
I need for the rectangle to conform to a Custom View (class:SPlotView)
which is located on the window defined by SPlotWindow.nib and I'd
rather not have to (remember to) modify a bit of code (i.e., "set
frame"...) whenever I make an Interface Builder change to the nib.
I do wonder why it is improper to:
1. load a nib, then
2. init a WindowController instance using that nib, and then
3. init an NSView instance defined as part of the nib using the nib
defined frame
all within a subclass init method.
Thanks for the help. Don

Both classes implement 'init' in like fashion

I don't know if your trouble is related to this, but that init
method is a little messed up.
1. You shouldn't be performing any actions on an instance that
hasn't been initialized (as in the first line of that method) -- I
think it will work sometimes, but it's not particularly safe.
2. You shouldn't be calling init... methods on objects that haven't
just been alloced (as in the third line) -- or, alternatively, you
shouldn't be asking an object that hasn't been initialized for its
frame (which is how the third line would read if splotView had just
been alloced).
3. You can't reliably message objects in a nib before -awakeFromNib.
It ought to be something along the lines of:
- (id)init
{
return [super initWithWindowNibName:@"SPlotWindow" owner:self])
}
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
[splotView setFrame:NSMakeRect(50,50,50,50)]; // or whatever you
want the frame to be
}
