Hi ! I am interested in doing some 2D and 3D graphics on the MAC. I plan to write my own code for this purpose. I am familiar with Fortran, and C. I know we can do graphics programming through quickdraw; is it the only way to do so? If so, which is the better language to go with, if there is any difference to begin with. If there is another way to talk directly to the machine, how is it done and how hard is it ? Thanks y'all J.D. (Klampett ,who else !!)

As all _good_ Mac programmers will tell you, stick with the toolbox if you want to avoid trouble, especially when talking about the Mac II. If you hardcode something for graphics card A, and don't know about B, your program won't run on B. This has the effect of seriously pissing off potential users. Gary L. Bringhurst
