Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Environment and Utilities /: Chapter 1 - QuickDraw GX and the Macintosh Environment / About QuickDraw GX and the Macintosh Environment

The Macintosh Interface
Most QuickDraw GX functions are designed for implementation on any platform. However, there are specific functions that are wrappers for Macintosh system software functions or have meaning only in the Macintosh environment. QuickDraw GX contains Macintosh interface functions to convert between QuickDraw and QuickDraw GX coordinate systems, find the mouse position in QuickDraw GX coordinates, associate view ports with Macintosh windows, map between view devices and Macintosh GDevice records, and intercept drawing commands to a view port.
