decodeNXColor
, is used to convert archived NXColors into NSColors.
NXColor, a type that dates from pre-OpenStep versions of NEXTSTEP, was a struct
. Its replacement, NSColor, is a class. The difficulties of converting from a struct to a class require a special method like decodeNXColor
.
decodeNXColor
becomes part of the NSCoder class only for applications that use the Application
Kit.
For more information, see the NSCoder class specification in the Foundation Framework Reference.
decodeNXColor
Decodes a color object from NEXTSTEP Release 3 or earlier and returns an autoreleased NSColor object. This method does not have a matching method for encoding an NXColor object. Encode an NSColor object instead.
