GXLoadInk

You can use the GXLoadInk function to load an ink into memory.

void GXLoadInk(gxInk target);

target

A reference to the ink object to be loaded into memory.

DESCRIPTION

The GXLoadInk function moves an ink object from disk storage to the active graphics client heap of your application. When you or QuickDraw GX unload an ink object from memory to disk storage using the GXUnloadInk function, QuickDraw GX creates a 4-byte stub that remains in the graphics client heap. When you use the GXLoadInk function to retrieve the stored object, QuickDraw GX obtains the location of the stored ink object from the stub.
