Alan:

This isn't something for Apple to "figure out" or "fix" - this is the expected, clearly-documented behavior for this function: "The image is tiled starting at the bottom of the window."

The first and only response to the very first thread you mentioned contained one good work-around if you do want to tile the image. This approach isn't as "easy" as just calling one method, but it's certainly not that difficult. :-) Off-screen drawing is very common and a good fit for this situation.

In other words, the method you're using is not broken -- it just needs to be adapted to your purpose.

I'm using colorWithPatternImage to fill an NSView. It works fine
except I don't want it to scroll around. I want the image to be
"locked." This problem was encountered before by several people:

http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2005/4/10/132753
But neither seem to have an easy-to-use working solution. I tried the
setPatternPhase: of NSGraphicsContext technique but it didn't seem to
have any affect. The other technique doesn't seem like it should be
the only way to do it. It doesn't make a lot of sense. Also, you would
think Apple would have figured this out and added some way to fix it.
If there is some way to fill a NSView with a 1px wide image than using
NSColor to set the color and then use
NSRectFill/fillRect(NSBezierPath) I would love to know about it.
Thanks for any help, Alan
