I had toyed with Quartz Composer briefly, but this article gave a really nice, short tutorial on it.  I&#8217;m sure there are several of you scratching your head and wondering what the heck Quartz Composer is.  First off &#8212; it is a Mac thing.  Secondly, it is part of the Developer&#8217;s tools for Mac OS X 10.4 &#8220;Tiger&#8221;.
