I know I've seen a discussion of this, but my search-fu is weak today,
apparently. Please feel free to reply in links to the answer, if you
wish...
I'm trying to draw (in a view's -drawRect: method) a string over top
an image background:
NSDictionary *attrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
font, NSFontAttributeName,
textColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
[NSColor clearColor], NSBackgroundColorAttributeName,
nil];
[text drawInRect:textBounds withAttributes:attrs];
draws the string in the correct text color and font, with a black
rectangular background. I want the background image to show through
the "holes" in the string I'm drawing. I tried adding
[[NSColor clearColor] set];
NSRectFill(textBounds);
before the -drawInRect: call, to no avail. What am I missing?
Thanks!
randy
