Constants and Data Types

Translator Options and Statistics

The gxTranslationOptions enumeration defines constants that control various aspects of the translation from QuickDraw to QuickDraw GX:

   enum gxTranslationOptions {
      gxDefaultOptionsTranslation   = 0x0000,
      gxOptimizedTranslation        = 0x0001,
      gxReplaceLineWidthTranslation = 0x0002,
      gxSimpleScalingTranslation    = 0x0004,
      gxSimpleGeometryTranslation   = 0x0008,
      gxSimpleLinesTranslation      = 0x000C,
      gxLayoutTextTranslation       = 0x0010,
      gxRasterTargetTranslation     = 0x0020,
      gxPostScriptTargetTranslation = 0x0040,
      gxVectorTargetTranslation     = 0x0080
   };
   typedef long gxTranslationOption;

The individual constants for the enumeration are described in Table 1-2 on page 1-12.

The gxTranslationStatistics enumeration defines constants that are used as masks, any of which you can combine using an AND operation to interpret the statistics gathered during translation:

   enum gxTranslationStatistics {
      gxContainsFormsBegin       = 0x0001,
      gxContainsFormsEnd         = 0x0002,
      gxContainsPostScript       = 0x0004,
      gxContainsEmptyPostScript  = 0x0008
   };
   typedef long gxTranslationStatistic;

The individual constants for the enumeration are described in Table 1-3 on page 1-20.
