Quartz vs Cocoa

You can use either core graphics (quartz) or Cocoa drawing on the Mac. Everything with CG is core graphics, and requires you to use the quartz C API. Anything with NS is for Cocoa.

On the iPhone, you can only use core graphics. So if you need something to work on both Mac and iPhone, don't use Cocoa drawing.
