# initWithWindow:rect:

Returns a cached image representation initialized for drawing in the specified window.

## Declaration

```occ
- (id) initWithWindow:(NSWindow *) win rect:(NSRect) rect;
```

## Parameters

- `win`: The window (typically offscreen) in which the image is to be rendered. The window is retained by the receiver.
- `rect`: The position and size of the image in the specified window. This rectangle should be specified in the base coordinate system of the window.

## Discussion

Discussion You must draw the image yourself in the designated part of the window. There are no NSCachedImageRep methods for this purpose.
