Introduction

Important: This is a preliminary document for an API in development. Although this document has been reviewed for technical accuracy, it is not final. Apple Computer is supplying this information to help you plan for the adoption of the technologies and programming interfaces described herein. This information is subject to change, and software implemented according to this document should be tested with final operating system software and final documentation. Newer versions of this document may be provided with future seeds of the API. For information about updates to this and other developer documentation, view the New & Updated sidebars in subsequent seeds of the Reference Library.

The Image Kit framework is an image handling framework that's based on Quartz, Core Image, OpenGL, and Layer Kit. It defines a set of Objective-C classes that provide user interface support for:

Finding, browsing, viewing, and editing images. The Image Kit framework builds on the NSView class to provide a view that is optimized for image operations such as rotating, zooming, scrolling, and dragging. Client applications can support powerful in-place editing with a minimum effort.
Browsing, previewing, and setting input parameters for Core Image filters. The Image Kit framework extends the Core Image API by defining additions to the CIFilter class that make it easy for applications to present a user interface for a Core Image filter.
