NSGraphicsContext graphicsContextWithBitmapImageRep:

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hi,

I am still trying to draw into a bitmap without using a NSView. I was inspired
by:

http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2002/7/3/51400

... and I have tried this:

   rep = [[NSBitmapImageRep alloc]
           initWithBitmapDataPlanes: nil
           pixelsWide: size.width pixelsHigh: size.height
           bitsPerSample: 8 samplesPerPixel: 3
           hasAlpha: NO isPlanar: NO
           colorSpaceName: NSCalibratedRGBColorSpace
           bytesPerRow: 0 bitsPerPixel: 24];
then:

    dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    [dict setObject:rep
                    forKey:NSGraphicsContextDestinationAttributeName];

    context = [NSGraphicsContext graphicsContextWithAttributes: dict];

and draw using:

    [NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:context];
    [[NSColor blueColor] set];
    [NSBezierPath fillRect:NSMakeRect(10,10,80,80)];
    [context flushGraphics];

No result. Only this time the TIFF image was valid and viewable under windows -
it is a black square.

And [NSGraphicsContext graphicsContextWithBitmapImageRep:] seems not to be
present in GNUstep...

Is there a way in GNUstep how to draw into the NSBitmapImageRep using standard
drawing methods without using views and windows? If not, is there any plan for
having them implemented?

Thanks,

Stefan
