DrawEditor

DrawEditor is based on QuickDraw and provides tools for editing and creating shapes. DrawEditor uses the SOM-wrapper-object architecture used in SamplePart, which encapsulates its SOM interface in a class with almost no implementation.

DrawEditor implements the following features:

• displaying in the four standard view types (frame, large icon, small icon, and thumbnail)
• Clipboard operations
• creation of shapes (rectangles, ovals, triangles, and lines)
• editing of shapes by resizing and z-ordering
• styling objects (pen color, pen pattern, pen width, fill color, and fill pattern)
• embedding
• drag and drop of any content
• linking of any content
• undo of all user actions
• floating tool and color palettes
