Or can one only use openGL drawing functions to draw to an openGL
context?

I can think of a few options. If you have some Quartz or Cocoa stuff to draw over the top, you can create a transparent window, making it a child of the window with the OpenGL view in it (see - addChildWindow:ordered:), and draw your Quartz content into that. This is quite easy and should be pretty fast.

Creating transparent windows is a pain. Instead, the OP could also take
a look at the UnderlaySurface example code (and search the archives
about it) which lets you put Cocoa views overlayed on opengl views.

That's really neat :-) I didn't know you could do that.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
