About View Port Objects
A view port object represents the drawing destination for QuickDraw GX objects. A view port is analogous in some ways to a porthole on a ship, hence the name port. Objects seen through the porthole may have any extent, but only those parts within the boundaries of the porthole are visible.View ports are device independent, and you normally need not take device characteristics such as pixel resolution into account when you draw.
