This is probably a very simple task, but being a relative neophyte to the Mac, I don't know how you'd do it. I have a program which writes some graphics in a rectangular area on the screen, using LineTo() and MoveTo(). This program is running just fine. What I want to do is this: instead of actually drawing to the screen I want it to draw it to a bitmap or whatever and save it on the disk (as a PICT, or whatever...what do I want to use?). In a later program, I want to grab that file/bitmap/PICT/whatever and display it instantly on the screen. I don't care how it's done but I don't want to have to have to add a step of running ResEdit or whatever to install the graphic as a resource into the later program. The program should be able to read it in as a file. I suspect that the task involves CopyBits, but I don't know how you'd write it to a file, or how you'd read it. Any help would be appreciated.
