BarView: An NSView with a Scaled Coordinate System
In this section we’ll subclass NSView to create a class called BarView to demonstrate a scaled coordinate system. A BarView object will display a simple bar graph that draws a graph between the range to 100, depending on the value of a slider. It will scale its coordinate system and control redrawing with the appropriate display methods. We’ll use the same ViewDemo project we created for BlackView so that we won’t have to go through the project-creation process again.

Change the Current value of the slider to 0.0 in the NSSlider Info panel.
Make sure that the Marker Values Only checkbox is not checked so that ...
