[comp.sys.mac] Camera DA, Sources?, Effects?

sdy@ssc-vax.UUCP ("Sukebe") (03/22/88)

Has the source to the Camera DA ever been released? -- The version I have is
dated as 1985 but I don't have any code. I would like to get a more up to date
version with code if possible.

If no code is available maybe someone could simply explain why when the Camera
is waiting to take its picture my screen updates are faster (50%) than normal
-- using LSC I've been mimicing the DrawChar() by using CopyBits() to get a
feel for working with fonts etc.  I used TickCount() to measure time and my
test character string usually takes ~1 second to print. But when I want to
capture this with Camera the redraws after the camera dialog has gone away
(while its waiting) are ~.5 seconds. So whats it do while its waiting?

I'd like the source to this as well. It doesn't work on my Mac II. What
I'd like to see is a Camera DA that can be used to capture any portion of
the screen (I have a FPD). This could be done with a MacPaint like selection
tool.
