We need someone else who knows more about these things than me to chime in, but...

Sketch uses property list serialization rather than encodeWithCoder,
encodeObject:forKey:, etc. Is there any particular advantage/ disadvantage
to this? Don't they ultimately do the same thing? If it is to set up all
the KVOs, couldn't the same thing be done either way?

I thought that the Sketch example code was depracated several years ago and replaced with Sketch-112. But I see that it is still in Leopard's /Developer/Examples/AppKit/. Maybe someone who knows can please set us straight on which is the latest "Sketch" we should be using??


I should mention that I use only one type of graphic object class for
everything, differentiated only by the content of a properties dictionary.
(In fact, now that I've done it, I don't know why I didn't just make that
class a subclass of NSMutableDictionary.)

I can't find the reference now, but I seem to remember that subclassing Cocoa's Collection classing is highly discouraged and leads to trouble. So, the reason why you didn't subclass NSMutableDictionary is that you apparently have excellent intuition.
