Using QCView to Create a Standalone Composition

This chapter shows how to create a standalone Quartz Composer composition using the QCView class. You don’t need to write any code to accomplish this task. You simply create a new Cocoa application, modify the nib file in Interface Builder so that the application window has a QCView in it, and then specify a composition to load. Launching the compiled Cocoa application causes the composition to play automatically.

Note: This chapter assumes that you are using Xcode and Interface Builder Version 3.0. Interface Builder Version 3.0 is a major update from the previous version of Interface Builder. For detailed information on how to use the new version, see Interface Builder User Guide.

Follow these steps to create a standalone composition:

  1. “Create a Cocoa Application”

  2. “Modify the MainMenu.nib File.”

  3. “Build the Cocoa Application”
