I added the following code:

CALayer *viewLayer = [ view layer ];
		
// create a keyframe animation..
CAKeyframeAnimation *keyAnimation = [ CAKeyframeAnimation animation ];
		
// set the keypath
[ keyAnimation setKeyPath:@"frame" ];
		
// create an array of values..
NSArray *animationArray = [ NSArray arrayWithObjects:
				[ NSValue valueWithRect:[ view frame ] ],
				[ NSValue valueWithRect:frame ],nil ];
		
[ keyAnimation setValues:animationArray ];
		
[ viewLayer addAnimation:keyAnimation forKey:@"frame" ];
		
[ [ view animator ] setFrame:frame ];

OK, one comment off the top.

I see no Core Animation in this example. This is strictly NSViewAnimation or Animatable proxies.

Which part doesn't work?

is it when you have layer backing turned on? or off?

what does your drawing method look like?

Fellow list members..

I have been round and round with my choppy resize animation. Basically I have a custom view in IB that contains 3 subviews. I am trying the iTunes "show/hide" artwork effect. Basically I have a NSTableView that is wrapped in a custom nsview that displays financial transactions and the view underneath displays a detailed view of the selected transaction. To trigger the resize, the user just double-clicks the transaction and I resize both custom nsviews. shrinking the deatil view down and expanding the transaction view so that the transaction nstableview takes up any remaining space. I am guessing that I am redrawing excessively which might be causing the "choppiness". I am open to any and all suggestions. I have pasted the relevant code below.

Thanks,

[ animation setDuration:0.25 ];

[ animation startAnimation ];

[ animation release ];
