for how to put a QC composition into a Cocoa app and control it programmatically. There's also an embedding example in your Developer Tools: /Developer/Examples/Quartz Composer/Chart (as well as a few others). The official Apple sample codes has a few more examples:

One interesting poster at WWDC this year showed QC as part of an alarm/annunciator panel for controlling lab equipment.

QC is a good candidate in any Cocoa app where you want some rich visual effects, animation, or rendering styles that would be a pain to do with common Cocoa calls within an NSView. The more fiddly your idea is, the better the fit with QC.

I've heard (but don't know for sure) that iChat uses QC for some of its effects.
