Chapter Organization

Most chapters in this book follow a standard general structure. For example, the chapter "QuickDraw GX and the Macintosh Environment" contains these major sections:

• "About QuickDraw GX and the Macintosh Environment." This section provides an overview of the Macintosh interface and describes the QuickDraw-to-QuickDraw GX translator.
• "Using QuickDraw GX in the Macintosh Environment." This section describes how you can test for the presence and version of QuickDraw GX and use the Macintosh interface functions. It describes how to use the most common functions, gives related user interface information, provides code samples, and supplies additional information.
• "QuickDraw GX and the Macintosh Environment Reference." This section provides a complete reference for the topics described in this chapter by describing their related constants, data types, and functions. Each function description follows a standard format, which gives the function declaration; a description of every parameter; the function result, if any; and a list of errors, warnings, and notices. Most function descriptions give additional information about using the function and include cross-references to related information elsewhere.
• "Summary of QuickDraw GX and the Macintosh Environment Reference." This shows the C interface for the constants, data types, and functions associated with the Macintosh interface and the QuickDraw-to-QuickDraw GX translator.
