Chapter Organization
Most chapters in this book follow a standard general structure. For example, the chapter "Geometric Shapes" contains these major sections:
- "About Geometric Shapes." This section provides an overview of geometric shapes.
- "Using Geometric Shapes." This section describes how you can create and manipulate geometric shapes using QuickDraw GX. It describes how to use the most common functions, gives related user interface information, provides code samples, and supplies additional information.
- "Geometric Shapes Reference." This section provides a complete reference to geometric shapes by describing the constants, data types, and functions that you use with geometric shapes. Each function description follows a standard format, which gives the function declaration; a description of every parameter; the function result, if any; and a list of errors, warnings, and notices. Most function descriptions give additional information about using the function and include cross-references to related information elsewhere.
- "Summary of Geometric Shapes." This shows the C interface for the constants, data types, and functions associated with geometric shapes.
