OpenGL

I have subclassed NSOpenGLView and I am trying to turn on dubble buffering
in my pixelformat.
I have read that the right place to do that is to override
initWithFrame:frameRect

But my program doesnt seem to work.
Being new to Cocoa, Obj-C _and_ OpenGL is not very promising...

I have added a bunch of NSLog's and have found out that my initWithFrame
function is not called at all. How come?
I have now used 4 days on this problem! (Guess it turns out I have forgot
a semicolon or something like it...argh!)


I'm new to OpenGL too so I don't know how much help I'll be...
If your initWithFrame method isn't called, it might be a Interface Builder problem. You should check to make sure you have an OpenGL view that is set to use your custom class inside of your NIB file.
Is your "- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect) frameRect pixelFormat:(NSOpenGLPixelFormat*)format;" being called?


Here is a sample of code that I know to work:

- (id)initWithFrame:(NSRect) frameRect
{
NSOpenGLPixelFormatAttribute attrs[] =
{
NSOpenGLPFADoubleBuffer,
NSOpenGLPFAColorSize, 32,
NSOpenGLPFADepthSize, 32,
nil
};

NSOpenGLPixelFormat* pixFmt = [[NSOpenGLPixelFormat alloc] initWithAttributes:attrs];

/* Check if initWithAttributes succeeded. */
if(pixFmt == nil) {
/* initWithAttributes failed. Try to alloc/init with a different list of attributes. */
}

self = [super initWithFrame:frameRect pixelFormat:pixFmt];
if(!self)
NSLog(@"initWithFrame failed");

return self;
}
