Hi there.
I have an NSData object which I am trying to turn into an NSString using the following line of code:
NSString *theData = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:photo encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

I'm in urgent need of an Objective-C/Cocoa/Cocoa Touch framework to handle simple charting; pie chards, histograms etc.
The only thing that comes close is:

But it seems to be quite an early release and not maintained.
Has anyone created or used such a framework or library.

Hi,
I've read somewhere that Objective-C doesn't have class level attributes, but that the same can be achieved by declaring something like this (before the class interface):
static NSInteger initCount;
I'm initializing the variable to zero with the initialize method:
// interface
+ (void) initialize;
// implementation
+ (void) ini...
EDIT_002: Further rewrite: if I save using the method below how would the method to load it back in look? (moons is an NSMutableArray of NSNumbers)

I'm familiar with using NSLocalizedString() to localize strings, but the problem I have today requires a little more finesse. My situation is like this:

I'm overriding the drawRect: method in a custom UIView, and I'm doing some custom drawing. All was going well, until I needed to draw a PDF resource (a vector glyph, to be precise) into the context. First I retrieve the PDF from a file:

Hi,
I am obtaining the mac(hw) address of an interface using CWNetwork. Now OS X gives me this mac address in the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format. But if the first digit is 0, OS X will output the address as 4:aa:dd:ee:34:40, instead of 04:aa:dd:ee:34:40.
Now I am trying to take this string 4:aa:dd:ee:34:40 and convert it to 04:aa:dd:ee:34:40 ...
