Hi Joanna,

Yes. That NSObject holds some properties associated with a graphical layer. I 
have a lot of them, that I classically save in order to be able to restore the 
state of the application at launch. Now, to highlight a specific item on a 
given layer, I create a temporary layer, that I destroy once the user has 
identified the highlighted item. To keep the drawing code orthogonal, I have to 
create that temporary NSObject I mentioned, which is needed by my 
drawInContext: method. 

I hope it is a bit clearer, despite my rusty English.
