OK, I got a couple of references to Illustrator. I haven't used this

program, and see if I indeed can make sense of the coordinates it is
said to provide.
Ummm... I think we've been going at this all wrong: What are you
actually trying to accomplish?
-> Illustrator is simply a program for creating vector images (i.e.
objects that scale nicely, not pixel images that become chunky when
mad larger). Cocoa lets you load a number of image formats and
display them in your window using NSImage, like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PICT
and even some vector formats like PDF.
-> The "Sketch" example application would be a good starting point if
you want to write your own object-oriented drawing program (i.e. like
Illustrator or Freehand)
So, if you just want to display some canned images, any old image
editing application will probably do. Tell us what you actually want
to achieve, and we might be able to suggest more accurately.
