Thanks for the advice. Some extreme newbie questions: A) Any documentation on this subject? Can this be done in IB?
B) What is the simplest object that will draw a simple line? I have found NSBox (from IB) and NSBezierPath from docs, both with lots of bells and whistles... Is there no NSLine, NSPath? C) D) Not supported in IB, so I will wait with this for a while. 1 jan 2010 kl. 13.13 skrev Mike Abdullah: > QTCaptureView is almost certainly internally using something along the lines > of OpenGL internally to draw onscreen with acceptable performance.
