The Image Kit Objective-C Framework was introduced in Leopard, for "browsing, viewing, editing, and processing images in an efficient manner". IKImageBrowserView provides browsing functionality for large numbers of images. To use this view, applications must provide as data sources collections of objects implementing the IKImageBrowserItem protocol. This sample shows how the protocol can be implemented in Core Data entities. An IKImageBrowserView is used as the "master" in a master-detail interface with Core Data content.
