Which class is it specifically you're trying to support?


Here is part of my response to a previous post asking about support  
for CoreImage:

<<<<
You could possibly have a go yourself by looking at how the WebKit  
interface is handled - purely from ruby. See osx/webkit.rb and osx/ 
objc/webkit.rb. To summarise (you need to look at osx/objc/webkit.rb  
to see the details):

  (1) load the CoreImage framework
  (2) ns_import the classes needed
  (3) define integer constants/enums
  (4) create NSString (or other object) constants by using  
objc_symbol_to_obj

Hope that is of some help.
