[net.micro.mac] Editing a la FatBits

chavez@ucbvax.ARPA (Thomas M. Chavez) (09/25/85)

I am interested in using a graphic editor (for editing ICON types) that is like
all of the other editors which resemble the FatBits editor of MacPaint.

I can think of several ways of implementing this: waiting for a mouseDown in my
special rectangle and handling all movement until the mouseUp, or looking for
mouseDown events in each separate 'pixel' of my rectangle and handling each one
separately...

I am curious if anyone knows what the most common method is, or the method that
you prefer.  It's not really relevant, but I will be using MacC for this.

Thanks,
Tom Chavez
