Q: I placed a GWorld into the grafPort field of a MacDrawContext
struct, and QuickDraw successfully drew into it. Are there any speed penalties from doing
it this way instead of drawing directly to a window (with or without hardware
acceleration)?
A: We recommend against doing this. There is a special kind of draw
context, called a pixmap draw context, which is specifically for rendering to an offscreen.
If there is a hardware accelerator installed, it will not work properly if you place a GWorld
in the grafPort field of a MacDrawContext struct.
The files you need, and some other useful files, such as the Tumbler
application, are on AppleLink in the Code Exchange folder under the QuickDraw
3D icon. Look for the "3dmf to pict" code snippet.
Note: for 1.0 you have to set the 2D library to be:
kQ3DrawContext2DLibraryUseNone
