Is it possible to set an arbitrary clip mask on an NSView without
rewriting its drawRect? The goal is to be able to clip/obscure parts
of a NSView without necessarily putting anything in front of it.
The current situation is that I have some heavyweight Java
components (i.e. they have an associated native peer component) that
need to be clipped by a sibling component which is *not* heavyweight
(i.e. it paints into its ancestor's graphics area). On w32 and X11,
native peers are windows, which can have a clip mask set so that only
part of the window gets painted and/or responds to events. I'd like
to do a similar thing on OSX, but the native peer is a NSView, and I
don't know how to change its shape.
Thanks
T.
