Stroke the segments one-by-one. Or instead of going right to the context, create a CGMutablePathRef() for each arc , draw to that, then add it to the context path. Heck if you are drawing the same shape each time you can even reuse the path and change the CTM to move it around when you add then then you only even have to draw it once. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
