I have made a small MacApp-program to create PICT-files. PICTs are created at opening a new document, spoed to file and then displayed on view either by spooling or if wanted by offscreen buffer. I also use the method of setting laser to 300 bpi resolution like in FracApp300, so I get maximum resolution on any device. OK, that's for backround. I used to PICT-spooling examples in IM V to spool the picture to the file ( with a little more error handling ). All worked well, when I spooled the PICT to the VIEW by it's draw method. But I didn't get anything on printer. I did some modifications on my code and the printing work by NOT using the SetStdProcs, but directly saving and changing the getPicProc-field in grafprocs. I didn't test, but I thougt printer might have the grafprocs modified a little. Anyway it works now. What I like to now is there any reason to use SetStdProcs, when I might be drawing in the port, wh for some reasons allready have it's lowlevel procs modified. Better routine would be GetQDProcs, which would g the CURRENT drawing procs. ( I know that in such situation there might be some compatibility problems, but it's better? than having the procs zapped to standard routines ) Or have I misunderstood the whole concept ?
