I read about it in the ref manual, >but I did not quite get it. Hmmmm.... The concept of grafport isn't really difficult to understand, but I found it rather hard to explain. Basically a grafport is a place where you can draw things to. The best way to think of a grafport is to think of it as a window. The content area of a window is a grafport. When you draw, you aren't actually drawing to the screen, you are drawing in the grafport. If it so happens that part of your grafport is visable on the screen then what you draw will also appear on the screen. Does that make sense? >Thanks Robert >******************************************************************************* >* >Real: Robert Brown * Profanity is the one language all >Academic Computing Services Lab Manager * programmers know best. >Bitnet: RXBROWN@UALR * I speak for me, myself, and I!! >AOL: ROBPHD * Tires and tax not included,void where >Apple //GS the power to be your best. * prohibited.
