I am currently devwloping a measurement package on an IBM-PC machine. This package is based on special representation of the data. What I wanted to do was to get my graphs excactly as they were onto a Mac. I got my hands on a list of PICT opcode and simply wrote a PICT file on my PC, and transferred the file to the Mac, where I could import the file into any drawind package I wanted to. There was only one problem. The resolution was incredibly poor. This in because the PICT format only allowes integer numbers. However, since I am only using a small portion of the integer space, I was thinking about the possibility to use more of this space. Is it possible to define some sort of mapping from one rectangle to another ? What I mean is, is it possible to define a source rectangle, which maps into a destination rectangle within the PICT form. Brynjolfur
