Lines: 18 From: Henry.Kautz Question: I want to display a non-rectangular MacPaint image overtop of some other drawings. So I create the image, lasso it, cut it to the scrapbook, use the resource mover to move it to my application, and draw it with DrawPicture. Problem: even though I originally used the lasso, the full rectangle containing the image is drawn, thus "whiting out" a rectangular region around the image. Second attempt: I copy the image from the scrapbook, paste it into MacDraw, cut it out again to the scrapbook, and finally move it to my application. Now when it is drawn, the background is visible through ALL parts of the image. Hmmm. Would someone tell me how to get the desired result?
