I'm writing a wrapper to a CLI app here. Here's what I want to do with
it:
The CLI app writes a picture to a file. This can take no time at all,
or may take several minutes. What I would like to do is to display this
picture while it's being drawn. Is it possible to open up the file
that's being written to, and display it using NSImage?
Note that it's not possible to have the CLI app parse the output to the
standard ouput, so I'm pretty much forced to use the file. I would like
to display the file as it's being drawn so that you can stop the process
if it's not coming out right, or some such thing.
Thanks for any help,
Mike
