Constants and Data Types

Graphics Client Attributes

The options for the attribute parameter of the GXNewGraphicsClient function are defined in the gxClientAttributes enumeration:

enum gxClientAttributes {
   gxStaticHeapClient= 0x0001
};
typedef long gxClientAttribute;

Constant descriptions

gxStaticHeapClient

QuickDraw GX will never add additional memory blocks to the graphics client heap.

A graphics client having a gxClientAttributes value of 0 may add additional memory blocks to its heap, as required. This is the standard default behavior.

For additional information, see the section "Creating a Graphics Client and Its Graphics Client Heap" beginning on page 2-5. The GXNewGraphicsClient function is described on page 2-19.
