Re: NSGradient implementation

[Eric Wasylishen]

Hi Fred,

This is great to hear - I started two projects this summer which will  
really benefit from an NSGradient implementation.

The first is a little piece of code [1] which draws speech bubbles  
identical to the ones in this mockup:
http://jesseross.com/clients/etoile/ui/concepts/01/workspace_200.jpg
I use NSGradient for filling in the bubbles, so currently it only  
looks correct on OS X.

I also began working on drawing/painting framework tentatively called  
EtoilePaint [2], built on top of Quentin's EtoileUI, It's very  
unfinished, but I plan to resume working on it in January and create a  
nice hybrid bitmap/vector editor for Etoile. The NSColor pattern  
drawing feature will be useful here as well.

If I have time in the next few weeks I'll look at the FIXME's in  
NSGradient. Thanks for starting this!

Regards,
Eric
