[comp.sys.mac.programmer] What I learned today.

I spent a few hours today trying to figure out why FrameRect()
wouldn't.  I was making a DA and it was working when run under LS C DA
test shell.  Here was my problem...

PenPat (black);
FrameRect ();


It seems that when you write a DA certain constants aren't available
as they are when you write Apps.  Color constants are a few of them.
I had to get the color pattern from SysPatList.

So, here was the fix...

GetIndPattern (foo, bar, &blackPattern);
PenPat (blackPattern);
FrameRect ();


Oh, well.  I hope that this may spare someone from a few hours of head
scratching.
