- Implement the following method in your class:
-
- getIBImage
- - (NXImage *)getIBImage
-
- Returns the image that's displayed in the File window when an instance of
- this class is created. By default, Interface Builder provides an image of
- a sphere. If you want to provide a different image, implement this method
- in your custom class.
