A handy console output category .
Hi All,
Recently, I was writing a command-line tool and I didn't feel like dropping
down to printf() for console output, so I wrote this category.
Drop this in your project…
@interface NSString (console)
- (void) writeToFileHandle:(NSFileHandle *) handle;
- (void) writeToStdOut;
- (void) writeToStdErr;
@end
@implementation NSString (console)
- (void) writeToFileHandle:(NSFileHandle *) handle { [handle writeData:[self
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; }
- (void) writeToStdOut { [self writeToFileHandle:[NSFileHandle
fileHandleWithStandardOutput]]; }
- (void) writeToStdErr { [self writeToFileHandle:[NSFileHandle
fileHandleWithStandardError]]; }
@end
…and you'll be able to tell strings to output themselves like so:
[@Hello, World!\n writeToStdOut];
[@Oh, no! Something broke!\n writeToStdErr];
[[self description] writeToStdOut];

Re: image rotation
Several years ago, I wrote this sample code project:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Transformed_Image/index.html
It demonstrates the use of NSAffineTransform to rotate, scale, and shear images.

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a new image that is made up of a combination of other
images.
As I iterate over the array holding the images I want to do is...
- place the componant image in the new canvas at a certain point (150,187)
- rotate the componant image by a certain value (calculated previously)
I don't mind how the image fits in the new canvas, it doesn't have to be
completely within it.
I think I need to use NSAffineTransform?
I was using drawinrect previously for non-rotated movement.
Do I need to draw the componant image to the canvas first then rotate it?
The code I have at the moment is
[code]
//calc rotation
double rotation = 360 / ki;
double rotateby = rotation;
//set coordinates to x,y - 150,187 to start
float x = 150;
float y = 187;
//for each image
NSEnumerator *imageLoop = [kitImages objectEnumerator];
NSString *imgPath;
while ((imgPath = [imageLoop nextObject])) {
NSImage *img = [[NSImage
alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:imgPath];
//rotate image
//apply image to view
[targetImage lockFocus];
//[img drawInRect:NSMakeRect(x,y,xb,yb)
fromRect:NSMakeRect(150,150,0,0) operation:NSCompositeCopy fraction:1];
//set new rotation
rotation = rotation+rotateby;
[/code]
I've tried looking at some of the samples, but they seem to be cover rotating
in place and resizing which is more complicated than I'm looking for. I'm
expecting to effectively have the componant images fan out on the canvas.
If anyone could help me with the process I'd be grateful, do I have to create
a intermediary image to make the rotated image square?
Thanks,
Amy
Many Thanks

The implication of this is likely that the cursor is being set again after
you do it. Have you tried setting a breakpoint on [NSCursor set]? It's
tricky to debug, because you don't want application switching to mess up the
testing conditions, so you probably need to enable the breakpoint from the
floating debugger window, and/or use carefully constructed debugger
conditions.
I checked this with a breakpoint. When a window become key the cursor is set.
So setting a custom cursor using this approach will never work. This also
explains why setting the cursor in initWithFrame: or awakeFromNib of a NSView
object also will not work.
Sounds like a job for delayed messaging.
Change the code above to:
- (void)windowDidBecomeKeyNotification:(NSNotification *)notification
{
if ([notification object] == [self window]) {
NSPoint point = [[self window] mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream];
NSRect frame = [self convertRectToBase:[self frame]];
BOOL condition = NSMouseInRect(point, frame, NO);
if (condition) {
[[NSCursor crosshairCursor] performSelector:@selector(set)
withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
}
}
}
That will send a -set message the next time through the event loop.

Re: unrecognized selector sent to instance
Jason, I just tried dropping your code into a new Foundation Tool project, and it looks like your problem happens when your subclass of NSOutputStream sends [super initToFileAtPath:append:]. Check the subclassing notes on NSOutputStream. It looks like it's a class cluster, and NSOutputStream itself doesn't implement - initToFileAtPath:append:.

Once you send it a -mouseDown: message, it will consume all mouse events until -mouseUp:.

So, is there a replacement? WAYTTD: What are you trying to do? Maybe you don’t need to pose. Well, sadly, I am pretty sure I do...at least for now. Although, this bug is not quite confirmed yet, but I suspect I know what the problem is. I am working on a Carbon - Cocoa conversion. In the carbon part, the cursor is being set to a 64x64 cursor constantly - via NSCursor set. The problem comes when I move the cursor over a cocoa view which I believe, by default, changing the cursor to what it wants - which I believe is a 32x32 cursor. So, in the constantly fighting over what the cursor should be, there is some weird cursor behavior...it flickers - moves quickly to a nearby location and then back again. I figure I could write my own NSCursor subclass, pose it as the normal NSCursor class and make sure that it is always trying to set cursor in the same way in every situation. Yes, I know, this isn't a good situation any way you slice it...but I need a quick fix and poseAsClass: seems to be the best option - assuming the bug is what I think it is. That's a band-aid, not a solution.

Right now, the app controller object sends a message to the
device controller, requesting the value of a specified variable.
The device controller does the telnet command to get it, returns
it to the app controller, and the app controller sends it to the
text field. Repeat 25 times for a full update. Slow, and there's
no return to the run loop in there to allow for keyboard or UI
events.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to deconstruct this to get the
object talking to the device into another thread so the main
window can take UI events. I'm thinking I can package up the
variable requests into a dictionary so that the device controller
can do a bunch at once. Then the main thread can do all the
updates from the dictionary, which should be quick.
It doesn't even need to be that complicated.
You can follow a delegate model in your device controller's design
to make it asynchronous, rather than have it provide a synchronous
API.
Thanks for that pseudo-code. I think you're right about doing it
that way. I was also thinking I could add a request queue and a
response queue so that there can always be a request in the works,
instead of waiting to start the next one after the UI is updated.
The problem with any async method is that I haven't figured an
elegant way to know which update code to use for each return value.
They're not all the same. Different data elements need different
processing to update the UI. When I get a response back
asynchronously, I have the variable name and the value, and I have
to figure out which UI element it belongs to. The brute force
method is a long if/else chain that tests the name of the variable
to do it, like:
if ([key isEqualToString: @lnbcolor])
{
[lnbLight setTextColor:[NSColor colorFromHexidecimalValue:
keyValue]];
}
else if ([key isEqualToString: @lancolor])
{
[lanLight setTextColor:[NSColor colorFromHexidecimalValue:
keyValue]];
}
With lots (25 or so) more possible key values, and a half-dozen or
more different ways to update the UI element.
This sounds like you're reinventing bindings and key-value observing.
Bind the controls in question to the relevant keys, and whenever you
get a callback that changes one of the values, send out a -
willChangeValueForKey: and a -didChangeValueForKey: message.

Re: How do I draw text on a custom button?
Michael,
By implementing -drawRect: in your view class, you become responsible
for all drawing in that view. The code below doesn't attempt to draw
the text, it only sets a value.
To draw text in the current drawing context, see the -
drawAtPoint:withAttributes: method of NSString for one way to to do so.

Any ideas?
Several things. First, the rectangle you get as a parameter to -
drawRect: is often smaller than the view recieving the message. The
rect is given so that you don't have to draw the entire view every
time. (See also -needsToDrawRect:, if you want to optimize this.)
Second, figure out your drawing geometry in -setFrame:, not in -
drawRect:. -drawRect: itself should be as little code as possible,
because it can be invoked at any time.
