Is it possible to store NSBitmapImageRep copy to NSMutableDictionary or NSMutableArray? I need to save copy of OpenGL texture somewhere so, that I could use it later. So if I would do glReadPixels, store readed pixels to NSBitmapImageRep and somehow store it to NSMutableDictionary or NSMutableArray will it work? Or maby there are some other ways to do it?

1`NSBitmapImageRep` is an object. What's wrong with just putting it in an array? – sudo rm -rf Sep 10 '12 at 13:33

By the way, doesn't array stores only pointers to objects? – hockeyman Sep 10 '12 at 13:35

1Yes, you can store any `NSObject` descendant in an array or dictionary. That's what they're for. Are you having trouble doing this? *What have you actually tried*? – Jonathan Grynspan Sep 10 '12 at 13:39

1For clarification, you can add your object to an array or dictionary for later reference, but this will not create a copy of the object. – waldrumpus Sep 10 '12 at 13:48

Yes, you can store it in an array / dictionary. If you specifically want to make a copy of the bitmap rep before you put it in an array, you can do so.
[array addObject:[bitmapRep copy]];
