I'm familiar with some of the basics of Quartz 2D drawing, like drawing basic shapes and gradients and so on, but I'm not sure how to draw a shape with a "beveled" look, like this:

beveled circle

Essentially we've got a shine on one corner, and maybe some shading in the opposite corner. I think -- I didn't make this image, although I'd like to be able to approximate it.

Any ideas? This is on the iPhone, and I'd like to use built-in frameworks and avoid any external libraries if at all possible.
