No, not really.
There are quite a few different ways to draw in Cocoa. Most of the
things we used to do with Postscript path operations are now done with
NSBezierPath. Bitmap images are drawn using NSImage and NSImageRep.
Text is drawn using NSAttributedString, NSText, etc. 3d drawing is done
with OpenGL, typically in an NSOpenGLView.
Basically, there's no single place in the docs that deals with all the
ways to get something to the screen or printer in Cocoa.
