Hi ! I'm new to coreAnimation, and there is something that I don't grasp yet. I'd like to composite a series of images (sometimes a few hundred) inside a view. Those images will sometimes remain where they are, or be resized or moved around. >From what I understand, backing an NSView with a CALayer brings an optimized rendering pipeline (I guess using the GPU etc). >From the docs, CALayers are described as model objects, used to orchestrate the drawings and animations. Alright. But the docs also describe how to use CALayer delegates to handle the actual drawing (drawLayer: inContext:). So this is getting me a bit confused.
I've started to create a simple view hierarchy with a scrollview and an NSView in it, in IB, and I checked the wants coreAnimation layer on my NSView. Should I then override drawRect: in my view and draw each of my images there (intersecting the visible rect), or rather should I not create an NSView, and add programmatically a CALayer to the scrollview and override drawLayer: inContext: and do the drawing there ? Or (but this sound much heavier) should I add many NSViews or NSImageViews to the backing layer and move/resize them afterwards ? hmmmmm any light on this will be more than welcome ! thanks _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
