Hi,

I'd like to draw in a graphics context in such a compositing mode:

R = MAX(S, D)

i.e. out of two colors (source and destination), the maximum color
(channel-wise) was chosen. This is basically equivalent to ORing the
colors.

Is this possible? I don't see such NSCompositingOperation. There's
only NSCompositeXOR, but no NSCompositeOR...


I'm not quite sure what you mean by "maximum color (channel-wise)".
Do you mean

Rr = (Sr > Dr) ? Sr : Dr
Rg = (Sg > Dg) ? Sg : Dg
Rb = (Sb > Db) ? Sb : Db



A quick google threw up http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0672322307/ch14
for the compositing operations. The logic operation XOR appears to be binary
(opaque/transparent). It might be that what you want is simply called something
else (like NSCompositeSourceOver).




A long time ago I remember XORing pixels D' = (S XOR D) changed the colour and (S XOR D')
changed it back again. But that was bitwise XOR, ie.


Rr0 = Sr0 XOR Dr0
Rr1 = Sr1 XOR Dr1
...
etc.



And finally, mathematically,   A OR B = (A XOR B) XOR (A AND B)




I wonder if any of that helps? :-) _______________________________________________
