- Well maybe you and a few others could take some source code and post a
- skeleton which makes use of these and any other useful techiques which don't
- make it to the RKRM. I would like to use them. :-) As I am going through the
- growing pains of a simple mandelbrot program to a fully Style Guide approved
- Mandelbrot Set Generator. One thing which I want to know, is does anyone have
- an Palette Requester which uses GadTools. I want to use a WB2.04 feeling
- requester in my program yet I don't want to roll my own if I can easily get it,
- I'd rather try and improve the rest of the program. Also I am unsure of how
- I should go about making CustomScreens for it. What all do I need to do to open
- a custom screen which uses a size based on the size of the WB screen.
- As in have my program open a 653 x 450 screen rather than 640x400 if that is
- what my WB screen is set to. I was also trying to figure out what is the best
- way to draw a box on the raster and then restore the image and draw a new
- different box. Should I use compementry lines or should I make a copy of the
- image (bitmaps)?
