Re: Making a "shaped" NSImage

Hello:
It's always going to be a rectangle.  But you control things by the
NSComposite choice when drawing the image.  ClipPath can help to make sure
there is no unintended filling the whole rectangle but that image is still
going to be a rectangle.

The different NSComposite's can cause a lot of different effects, you are
probably looking for "Source Over".  Then, at least a black curve on a white
background (don't draw the background into the image-unless you want the
inside of the curve filled), will just draw the curve at image draw time.

make it easy, let's assume the path is blackColor.  Does anyone know how to
do this?
