[MacRuby-devel] NSPoint and CGPoint issue

[david kramf]

Braxton,
Many Thanks for your advice . I will try to cast from CGPoint to NSPoint .
Nim,
I will try your code . In addition to the fact that we probably run on a different OS or MacRuby version , the other difference is that you set the width and height to full constants . The division operations that you commented out produced fractions.
Thank You All,David
