I want to write a PICT driver for a plotting package that is on some unix workstations. This would allow me to include plots directly into something like Powerpoint. I have a kludgy program to generate the PICT that works fine for everything but text. I am not issuing the correct quickdraw commands or not passing data along correctly, as 'macdraw ii' will hang when reading a PICT file that I generate that has text in the plot. For example, say that "foo bar" should be printed at coordinates (100,100) in times 12 pt. What is a correct quickdraw calling sequence? Since this is in a PICT file, a byte by byte description would be ideal! Either sample code, or a PICT fragment would be greatly appreciated. Since I do not subscribe to this bboard, please respond to 'jolly@voyager.ece.cmu.edu' Much thanks in advance! John.
