Creating NSImage in a tool

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hi,

I need a tool that will take some inputs and will generate one or more TIFFS. I
am trying to create an image in a tool under MS Windows like this:

#import <Foundation/NSAutoreleasePool.h>
#import <Foundation/NSString.h>
#import <AppKit/NSImage.h>
#import <AppKit/NSBezierPath.h>
#import <AppKit/NSColor.h>

NSImage *image = nil;

void create_image(void)
{
        NSLog(@"Creating image");
        image = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize:NSMakeSize(100.0, 100.0)];

        NSLog(@"Drawing path");
        [image lockFocus];
        [NSBezierPath strokeRect:NSMakeRect(10,10,80,80)];
        [image unlockFocus];
}
int main(void)
{
        NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [NSAutoreleasePool new];

        create_image();

        NSLog(@"Done");
        [image release];
        [pool release];
        return 0;
}

The output is:

$ make && shared_obj/test.exe

what is the correct way of crating an image in a tool (not an application)?

Environment: GNUstep-base-1.11.1-gui-0.10.1-3 - windows installer(*)

Thanks,

Stefan Urbanek
(*) very clean, simple and straightforward installer, BTW :-)
