[comp.sys.mac] Methods for drawing characters??

howard@brl-smoke.ARPA (Howard Walter <howard>) (12/22/86)

I am a very novice MAC+ programmer working in C.

My first project is YATE (Yet Another Terminal Emulator) which will use a
Vadic 9600 bps modem. I would appreciate advice on ways to quickly draw
characters on the Mac's screen and perform other functions such as clear
screen, scroll and delete line. In particular, I would like to receive
comments such as "the normal way to draw characters is to use the
Quickdraw routines xxx and yyy; however, it would be faster to instead use
zzz but this requires you to do the following". A lot of detail is not
needed - just pointers to different strategies.

Thanks!
