Thanks to all those who sent mail! I've gotten the picture in the
window now, and it turns out that the solution to my difficulties was
not to follow the example on pages 88 - 89 of Volumn V of Inside Macintosh.
Once I took out the "myProcs.getPicProc := @GetPICTData" type of business
everything worked great. Either replacing the standard getPicProc with the
"GetPICTData" routine, something which I did blindly based on faith in
Inside Macintosh, was not in fact the right thing to do, or I did it wrong.
Does anyone out there understand why Inside Mac V pp.88-89
recommends replacing the standard routine? I don't understand the
stuff at the top of page 89 that says DrawPicture has to "make repeated
calls to getPicProc to get actual picture opcodes and data". If the
replacement is necessary, I'd like to understand why, and I may need
help implementing it in MPW C++. If it's not necessary (ancient bug
now repaired? not applicable to MPW C++?), I'll just chalk up another
one to my foolish cookbooking.
