Inside Macintosh:

Imaging With QuickDraw

Inside Macintosh: Imaging With QuickDraw describes how your application can use QuickDraw to create and display Macintosh graphics. Available on every Macintosh computer, QuickDraw is the part of the Macintosh Toolbox that performs graphic operations on the user's screen. The Printing Manager, which is also described in this book, allows your application to print the images created with QuickDraw. In particular, this book explains how to

• create graphic images in black and white, grayscale, and color
• optimize your application to draw on various screens
• prepare graphic images offscreen to speed up onscreen drawing
• store graphic images that can be shared by other applications
• manage the cursor for selections made with the mouse
• print on any variety of Macintosh printer

To learn about QuickDraw's text-handling capabilities, read Inside Macintosh: Text. Read Inside Macintosh: Advanced Color Imaging for more information about enhancing your application's color capabilities.
