There are only a few places where you're ever allowed to draw in
Cocoa: Either between a lockFocus/unlockFocus on an NSImage/
NSImageRep, or from inside the drawRect method of an NSView
subclass (that's pure Cocoa, i.e. AppKit -- if you use OpenGL
directly or CoreImage or so, there may be other places). You're not
supposed to lock focus on a view manually and draw just at any old
time.
that's probably a bit strong.
there are cases where locking focus, drawing, and then unlocking
focus outside of these cases are useful (in the AppKit domain) . I
believe at least one common case is creating selection rectangles/
indicators.
I will point out though, that drawing selection indicators can be done
without going outside of the normal view update machinery.
