At first this sounded incorrect, because it's
emphasized that frame is just a function of other
properties....but I was overlooking "transform" as one
of those. Interesting...not sure if this helps clear
the situation or not.

Despite the apparent help -[NSView
convertPointToBase:] gives, I'd still appreciate a
summary of the way all the many many CALayer
(/sublayer), NSView and Quartz context transformations
work together in light of resolution independence:
When one draws a rectangle in a CALayer delegate, and
the -drawLayer:: concatenates (and/or sets?) its own
transform before drawing, when the layer has a
transform, and the root parent layer has both a
transform and a sublayer transform, and the host
NSView has different bounds than frame, and there is
resolution independence / interface scaling.....*deep
breath*..... where/what order are all these transforms
applied to our brave rectangle victim. And between
what levels of all that does a (mouse, drawing, layer
origin) point need to be transformed for use, and how?
[As if that weren't confusing me enough, I'm actually
also applying a cartographic projection or three to
half of my source data...so being clear on the
Cocoa/Core Animation/Quartz interaction would help me
focus on just the map issues.]
thanks,
