Re: NSTableView, rows in reverse order

[Marko Riedel]

Hi there,

just a quick reply -- I'm in a hurry. Thanks for all your help so far.

I am definitely certain that I have the right rectangle. (I am using [table 
bounds].) Your suggestion  re. the superview is tricky. It's a clip view inside 
a scroll view. It does include the header in its EPS, but it only prints the 
visible portion (which depends on how the user has sized tbe window).

Best regards,
