Saves the current graphics port (basic or color).

void GetPort (
    GrafPtr *port
);

port

On return, a pointer to a GrafPort structure for the current graphics port. If the current graphics port is a color graphics port, GetPort coerces its CGrafPort structure into a GrafPort structure.

DISCUSSION

When your application runs in Color QuickDraw or uses offscreen graphics worlds, it should use the GetGWorld function instead of GetPort. The GetGWorld function saves the current graphics port for basic and color graphics ports as well as offscreen graphics worlds.
