Greetings,
I've come to a crossroads in my project, where I've decided that I need to generate and capture file icons to a file (actually a database, but it doesn't matter).
My question:
I'm going to be generating the icons and converting them to TIFF in a faceless background daemon. While this is an Obj-C program, it is not running the AppKit. Will NSImage, and specifically drawing into an NSImage, and image->TIFF conversion work under these circumstances?
In the past, I've run into this problem with Java running without a windowing environment. It refuses to do much of anything with images or image manipulation (until Java 1.4 or thereabouts, which would could run "headless"). I'm worried that NSImage/Cocoa has the same problem, and I want to find out before I write a lot of code.
