Re: FxBitmap draw to NSGraphicsContext in FxPlug

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Rainer, The _graphicsContextForFxBitmap: method in the ScrollingRichText example shows how to create a CGBitmapContext out of an FxBitmap. From there you can use the CGBitmapContextCreateImage() function to create a CGImage from the contents of the bitmap context. In the future, we hope to provide more examples showing how to translate between FxPlug image types and various OS image types. Here are some OS documentation links that might be helpful: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/GraphicsImaging/Refer… http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conce… http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/cocoa/conceptual/Coco… On Feb 23, 2011, at 11:19 PM, Rainer Standke wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to draw an FXBitmap to an NSGraphicsContext.

Re: FXPlug - trying to build sample projects

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi Rainer, Final Cut Studio installs a version of the PluginManager and FxPlug frameworks without headers, while the FxPlug SDK installer installs a version with headers. It's likely that the SDK installer thinks you already have an up-to-date copy of these frameworks. You might try moving aside your /Library/Receipts folder and re-reunning the SDK installer. You can put the folder back after the installer runs. - Paul On Feb 15, 2011, at 7:35 PM, Rainer Standke wrote: > Hello all, > > I am trying to build the FXPlug Sample Projects supplied by Apple, as well as two that the esteemed Darrin Cardani had supplied on this list. > > I am getting error messages like this one: /Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework/Headers/FxPlugSDK.h:52:0 PluginManager/PROPlugInBundleRegistration.h: No such file or directory in /Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework/Headers/FxPlugSDK.h > > When I try to look at that framework's headers I get no headers at all. > > I am new to FXPlug, so I installed the FXPlug SDK 1.2.5 today, with install process not showing any hiccups. > > Not sure what to try, would be grateful for any help! > > Rainer > > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.

FXPlug - trying to build sample projects

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hello all, I am trying to build the FXPlug Sample Projects supplied by Apple, as well as two that the esteemed Darrin Cardani had supplied on this list. I am getting error messages like this one: /Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework/Headers/FxPlugSDK.h:52:0 PluginManager/PROPlugInBundleRegistration.h: No such file or directory in /Library/Frameworks/FxPlug.framework/Headers/FxPlugSDK.h When I try to look at that framework's headers I get no headers at all. I am new to FXPlug, so I installed the FXPlug SDK 1.2.5 today, with install process not showing any hiccups. Not sure what to try, would be grateful for any help!

Does anyone have a tool for converting Motion projects into Quartz Composer projects?

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: pro-apps-dev(a)lists.apple.com I had someone ask me if there exists any tool for converting a Motion file into a Quartz Composer composition? I wasn't aware of any, but I thought I'd ask if any of you have such a product? If so, let me know.
