You can have a look at DistributedObject. I think you can publish a
drawer object in your drawing thread and then, just call draw fro
your main thread.
DO might be overkill for this scenario. The background thread really
just needs to run a while() loop that waits on a condition-lock, then
draws. The main thread's -drawRect: method just sets the condition on
the lock to trigger the background thread.
If more information needs to be passed to the thread, you can use a
producer/consumer queue, but unfortunately Foundation doesn't come
with one of those built-in; there must be source code for one lying
around, though.
