[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MAC Picture -> RTF format

legg@ucs.adelaide.edu.au (Christian Legg) (06/24/91)

  Greetings everyone,

  I'm looking to write some code that takes a Macintosh picture (as specified
in a picture handle) and then outputs it in a form where it can be read
as RTF by Microsoft Word.

  I'm familiar with the conecpt of a picture handle being a sequence of
opcodes. IM recommends that these opcodes be manipulated using stdpicput and
get routines, though I can't get them to work, and even if I could, I can't
make heads or tails of the way in which MS-Word encodes piccies in RTF files.

  I have no problems with text formatted for RTF - I have a document that
explains how that works, but it doesn't include info on picture handling.

  Any hints, tips or huge chunks of Pascal code would be appreciated.

  cheers
