I have been hacking at this for a while (LSC v3.0p4), and have yet to get anything to work... I am creating a picture on the fly w/OpenPicture and subsequent calls to QD routines followed by a close picture. I want this picture to be put on the clipboard as type PICT... but it refuses to go (the type of the 'board is correct, but the data is not there). scrapPict = OpenPicture(rect); draw some stuff; ClosePicture theErr = ZeroScrap(); theErr = PutScrap(sizeof(scrapPict), ScrapType, &scrapPict); /* ScrapType = 'PICT' */ KillPicture(scrapPict); ---- Anyway, this fails to put the generated PICT onto the 'board... I do have error checking on both ZeroScrap and PutScrap-- no errors are occurring. Everything compiles fine... What obvious oversight have I made? b.bum wb1j+@andrew.cmu.edu Thanks in advance.
