Message-ID: <463@ttrdc.UUCP> Date: Mon, 30-Sep-85 14:14:29 EDT Article-I.D.: ttrdc.463 Posted: Mon Sep 30 14:14:29 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 2-Oct-85 07:45:44 EDT Organization: AT&T, Computer Systems Division, Skokie, IL Lines: 17 Does anybody out there know the format of data structures that MacDraw uses? What's the difference between a drawing stored in PICT format and MacDraw format? What IS the PICT format? Inside Macintosh does NOT tell how graphic elements are stored in PICT format. It is relatively easy to pass pointers to PICTs to draw them onto various bitmaps, but what I want to do is convert the PICT or MacDraw file into other more standard graphic file formats. (Like a pic file on UNIX for shipping to laser printers, or some Virtual Device Interface file format for use with other computers) To do this I will need to know the EXACT format of the data file. If anyone knows these data structures I would appreciate the info. If I get enough responces, I will post to the net. Frank Owen (..ihnp4!ttrdc!fjo)
