[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Color QuickDraw advice requested

dks@shumv1.uucp (D. K. Smith) (03/22/90)

I am attempting to use the facilities in Color QuickDraw involving the
palette mgr, pixel maps, off-screen drawing, and bit-blitting.  I need
some help, too!  I find IM-V much like K&R.  A great reference for those
who know what they are doing, however not a very useful road map.  I do
not find anything in the literature that is very verbose on the ins & outs
of using Color QD.  Any reccommendations out there?  Is there any src code
that is ftp'able that could provide a good starting point?  Anyone want to
send me some of there code to get me started?  Puh-leeeeze...

My code I have written thus far never catches the essence of the true
Color QD faclities... therefore I must fall back on the old Color model to
rough out some basic stuff.  However now I must "catch the essence" very
soon!

Should I be using the 24-bit color that is provided thru the patch
or will that just complicate things?

Any help would be mucho appreciated...
