Hi Folks,
I'm looking for some clues on how to draw a view and all of its
subviews to
an NSImage.
In searching the archives I found a reference to something called
BTOffscreenView, but the download link is no longer valid.
If I'm understanding correctly, you'll probably want to use NSView's
dataWithEPSInsideRect:
Example:
NSData *eps = [aView dataWithEPSInsideRect:[aView bounds]];
NSImage *image = [[NSImage alloc] initWith
Data:eps];
This produces an image that looks exactly like what you see on the
screen.
