Body
I need a UIImageView that can draw itself in color or b/w according to a flag: <pre><code> BOOL isGrey; </code></pre> I'm trying to do it by drawing a black rectangle on top of the original image with the Quartz blendmode set to Color. This works except it doesn't respect the image's alpha mask. See illustration: <a href="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1407/converttogreyscaleillo.png">alt text http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1407/converttogreyscaleillo.png</a> Searching Google and SO, I found and tried several solutions but none respect the mask either. Here is the code that produces the 'What I get' image above: <pre><code> - (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect { if (isGrey) { CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); // flip orientation CGContextTranslateCTM(context, 0, self.bounds.size.height); CGContextScaleCTM(context, 1.0, -1.0); // draw the image CGContextDrawImage(context, self.bounds, self.image.CGImage); // set the blend mode and draw rectangle on top of image CGContextSetBlendMode(context, kCGBlendModeSaturation); CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); CGContextFillRect(context, rect); } else { [self.image drawInRect:rect]; } } </code></pre> Is there some Quartz drawing mode that I'm forgetting to set? I've looked thru the Quartz Programming Guide but is so hard to extract the one bit of info you need from the overlapping and hyperlinked subjects. Obviously I'm looking for a general solution that will apply to images with any masked shape, not just the circle shown.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
