Hi there! With Core Text it was possible to get the outline of a CGGlyph by CTFontCreatePathForGlyph(...). Now I'd like to port from Core Text to Cocoa's font engine, so the question is: Is there a way to get the outline for a NSGlyph? ...

I have been using Unimotion in my application to read motion sensor values for Apple laptops, but have been unable to port the code to 10.6 64-bit. (I have also tried SMSLib and had the no luck either.) Is there any simple 10.6 compatible SMS API? If there is no alternative, I am also considering patching one of the libraries. Both U...
I have a 480x320 NSOpenGLView that I'd like to scale up to 960x640, but in a way that pixels appear as twice the size (and sharp). If I call [myglview setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,960,640)]; the view scales up to the desired size, but the pixels rendered by OpenGL calls are still at the native resolution. How can I scale up the GL view,...
I know some Python and I'm really impressed by the language's ease of use. From what I've seen of Objective-C it looks a lot less pretty, but it seems to be the lingua franca for Mac OS X development (which means it has better documentation). I'm thinking about starting Mac development - will using PyObjC+Python make me a second class ...

Hi, I've a fairly complex window that is backed by a controller class that is obviously growing to meet the needs of my view window. While I believe I am sticking to proper MVC I'm still having problems managing a fairly largish controller class. How do you breakdown your objects? Maybe use Categories? For example, one category to hand...
I have written a simple Cocoa app. In Activity Monitor, it is shown to be using a lot more virtual memory than all other apps: 304.6MB. (It uses this from the get-go, so I don't think it's a memory leak/management issue). Thing like Firefox, Mail etc. are only using 30MB-60MB or so. My app is using 13MB real memory. I am using garbage c...
Hi I have several core data entities that contains a bunch of empty NSString properties. I parse some XML and set the properties I can get a hold of and would like to set the "empty" ones to "n/a" as in "not available". So if my XML does not contain the values it sort of tidy up the Entity by giving it a "n/a" string I can test for lat...

Is there a way to get the list of windows from another application and their bounds. E.g. using F-Script or obj-c or any other way (except AppleScript) to access the window contents of another (any other) Cocoa-based application and possibly modify it? I am talking about 1) accessing the data (as http://the.layersapp.com/ does) and 2) ...
