====== Sample Projects ======

===== documentAsPackage  (january 15th, 2006) =====

This project shows how to override ''NSDocument'' class so that a document is a package : redefine ''-fileWrapperOfType:error:'' and ''-readFromFileWrapper:ofType:error:'' methods.

The documents by the application defined by this project consists of two texts; the document package contains a ''firstText'' directory, that includes the ''TXT.rtfd'' file, and the ''secondText'' file :

The [[http://cocoapages.rts-software.org/data/media/documentaspackageui.png|document user interface]] uses two text views for handling the two texts.

The archive containing the project can be downloaded {{documentpackagesample.zip|here}} (built with XCode 2.4.1).

===== setRuleThickness (january 5th, 2006) =====

I had of lot of difficulties in using ''-setRuleThickness:'' method of the ''NSRulerView'' class (Mac OS 4.X). At last, I discovered the ruler is not displayed correctly if the float argument has not an integer value. Si I built a small application that hilites this feature (bug ?).

This is an [[http://cocoapages.rts-software.org/data/media/setrulerthickness.png|window capture]].
