[SOLVED] How do I pattern an image in a view w/o "scrolling"?

YYYEEESS!! It works!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

I'm really sorry I didn't post the code in my first post but, I got no
compiler errors and it ran without crashing. I didn't see anything
wrong with it and knowing nothing about GraphicContext  I didn't
realize it was the wrong context.

For future reference:

- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect
{
    NSImage *pattern = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile: (path
to the tile image file)];
    NSPoint origin = [self visibleRect].origin;
    [[NSGraphicsContext currentContext]
setPatternPhase:NSMakePoint(origin.x, origin.y)];
    [[NSColor colorWithPatternImage: pattern] set];
    [NSBezierPath fillRect: [self bounds]];

    [pattern release];
}

That will fill a NSView subclass with 'pattern,' an NSImage containing
a picture to be tiled. :-)

Thank you everyone!!! This thread should go down in history: "When
should you post your code?" would be the title. The answer will be:
ALWAYS!!

I'll be sure to remember that.

Thanks again, Alan
