Re: Final (cleanup) drawing event?

I've got an NSView subclass with a rather expensive drawRect: operation,
but there's a quicker, less accurate substitute that's good enough for
resizing the view. I'd like to have window/view resizing invoke the
quick version, but then go back after the mouse is up and perform the
final, slower draw. How can drawRect: distinguish between the zillions
of intermediate draws and the final draw?

From NSView's doc:

- (BOOL)inLiveResize

A convenience method, expected to be called from drawRect: to make decisions about optimized drawing.

See Also: - viewDidEndLiveResize, - viewWillStartLiveResize

Now, it may be that the last drawRect: you get still is during the live resize -- in fact, I'd expect this. In this case, you want to listen for -viewDidEndLiveResize, and calls [self setNeedsDisplay:YES] there to force one final redraw, which will be done at high quality.
Hope this helps... (boy, answering questions on this list is a good way to learn more about Cocoa! I had no idea this API existed! :->)
