-
- James,
-
- You make a good point about a ViewToPict method. The only thing to add is that
- if you are creating a PICT file, then you can write the picture directly to
- disk, so that you don't need to store the entire picture in memory.
-
- Doing this requires that you be able to set up a special grafPort and install
- the appropriate capture procs. So to support this, you would need to break up
- your proposed ViewToPict method in to 1 that creates a port and one that draws
- the view into a given port.

-
- P.S. There's a comment in the latest version of MacApp (that I have gotten a
- hold of) saying "Really need to have AsPict method to render a view so anyone
- can call it."
