That is, if I call DrawPicture(myPic, &myRec) and myRec.top and >myRec.left are negative, will the picture be drawn with the top and the >left side outside of the window? The co-ordinate system that is used is the one of the current grafport. The rectangle you give in a DrawPicture call says where, in that grafport, you want the picture to be drawn. So, assuming your average grafport the answer to your question is, "yes." -- Ken Knight, Ken.Knight@f421.n109.z1.fidonet.org via The Black Cat's Shack's FidoNet<->Usenet Gateway blkcat.fidonet.org and Fidonet 1:109/401
