I am coding a tetris game in cocoa using Objective-c. I want to use some .tiff images of colored blocks to display the tetris shapes in a view. How do I display the images? I know how to draw shapes using NSBezierPath, but I can't seem to get this to work. I've seen a lot of stuff about NSImages, but no code showing me how to display the .tiff images at certain cordinates in a view. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with a little tutorial or some sample code. Thanks in advance.

This should be pretty easy to do using a simple adaption of some of the code posted in this thread about image scaling. It deals with locking focus on a view that you want to draw into and then telling an image to draw itself at a certain location there.

I will try to whip up some sample code for you if nobody else does tonight (I am a bit busy) but the general idea would be:
-load the tiff into an NSImage instance
-lock focus on your game field view
-tell the image to draw itself in the rect (some co-ordinates of where it should go) from the rect (its dimensions) using code similar to that mentioned in the link above
-unlock focus on the game field view

That should do it but I am not sure. Take a look at the other thread to see if you get the idea from there.

Hope that helps,
Jeff.
