Ahh, yes, of course. I'm still trying to figure out how to calculate the position using the width. I underestand why it's 0-0.5 when it's at 0.5 and 0.25 width, but with other examples I fail to get it right.

I've got the width and X/Y positions defined outside the billboards already, so I should be able to use some logic to get what I need.

Do you think it's best to put this logic in the cocoa application or in the quartz composition?

Jonathan,

The image origin doesn't actually refer to the 'position on screen', it refers to something more like the 'texture offset', which is sometimes useful (and sometimes a real pain) when you're doing core image processing. It generally doesn't affect the position you see the image, but if you're doing things like adding one image over another image it can be important as it affects the position there.

The 'position on screen' will depend more on where you're telling it to draw (as you have to give the sprite/billboard/etc. a position and a size for it to draw), so you should actually already have the position. E.g. if you have a billboard at position 0.25, 0.25 and size 0.5, 0.5 you just need to test if the mouse is in the range x 0 to 0.5 on x and 0 to 0.5 on y.

Let me know if you need help with something more specific.

Chris

Hi, i'm trying to find where in the view an image is positioned, but image origin always reports 0. I read in the doc that it's like this if the dimensions are infinite, but what does that really mean?

I'm trying to create a patch that determines whether or not the mouse cursor is over the image.

Thanks
