You will have to do it programmatically but it's pretty easy stuff.
This should do the trick nicely:
-(void)drawBackgroundPattern
{
// Suppose backgroundPatternImage is a valid reference to your
pattern image
NSRect rect = [self frame];
float width = rect.size.width;
float height = rect.size.height;
float bgWidth = [backgroundPatternImage size].width;
float bgHeight = [backgroundPatternImage size].height;
float xPos = 0;
float yPos = height - bgHeight;
while(yPos >= 0 - bgHeight)
{
while (xPos < width)
{
NSRect drawRect = NSMakeRect(xPos, yPos, bgWidth,
bgHeight);
[backgroundPatternImage drawInRect:drawRect fromRect:NSZeroRect
operation:NSCompositeSourceOver fraction:1.0];
xPos += bgWidth;
}
xPos = 0;
yPos -= bgHeight;
}
}
-(void)drawRect:(NSRect)aRect
{
[self drawBackgroundPattern];
}

i have this image ("image.png") that i would like to tile throughout
the view...
i've read the Quartz 2D programming guide... ok, ok, i breezed thru
it, i admit... but i couldn't seem to find an easy way of repeating an
image through out a view without actually drawing the image
programatically...
