Re: Drawing views

The NSRect you are sent in NSView:drawRect contains relative 
coordinates. It should automatically stay on the left-bottom when the 
window is resized. Try opening IB and putting a control at the bottom-
left, and then run the app. Resize the window and it should stay in 
the bottom-left.
