The QuickDraw-to-QuickDraw GX Translator

The QuickDraw-to-QuickDraw GX translator can be used to convert QuickDraw drawing commands into QuickDraw GX objects. It allows you to create a set of QuickDraw GX objects that have a similar appearance to that intended by the original QuickDraw picture. This capability is useful, for example, for importing QuickDraw data from the Clipboard into a QuickDraw GX-based application.

It is important to note that the translator does not provide a completely faithful, pixel-by-pixel mapping of the image defined by the QuickDraw commands. However, it does closely approximate the original image, and you can even control the closeness of the approximation. In most cases the differences are subtle and not apparent to the eye.
