Re: Double precision drawing in Cocoa

Is there any way to get double precision drawing in appkit/
foundation? I ask because I am making a view that needs to be able to
handle *huge* sizes at pixel resolution (a hex editor), and 24 bits
of precision just doesn't cut it (I get artifacts after I scroll down
aways, and they get worse the further I go). Is there some double
version of the geometry structures (NSPoint, NSRect, etc)? Or do I
have to use Quartz / ATSUI?


I have had problems on the other end by drawing to a view with the frame set to very small dimensions. The problems start to occur when I get frame coordinates such that there are less than 0.0025 drawing units per pixel. In this range the scrolling starts to develop artifacts just as you described. When it gets much smaller (around 0.00001 drawing units per pixel) the scrolling can stop working altogether and window updates might do nothing.
