- File Structure
-
- GDL documents contain the information for GDL to produce a label. A label is
- composed of three TextEdit records, a palette, and an optional picture. This
- information is in the data fork. The resource fork is reserved and should not
- be used.
-
-
- The File Format
-
- The data fork of GDL files contains the following data:
-
- PicFlag (+000) Boolean Long If this flag is TRUE, the next 5600 bytes
- contain a bit-mapped image of the graphic
- for this label. If this flag is FALSE,
- the next field is not present.
- BitMap (+004) 5600 Bytes If PicFlag is TRUE, this is a bit-mapped
- image of this label's graphics. The
- rectangle is 100 pixels high by
- 104 pixels wide in 320 mode; this is also
- the size of the entire label. This field
- is not present if PicFlag is FALSE.
-
-
- The remaining fields are present in every GDL document. They start at an
- offset referred to in this Note as "n". If there is no picture, "n" is 4; if
- there is a picture, "n" is 5604.
-
- TERecGDL1 GDLText GDL-style TextEdit record for the
- text on the back of the label.
- TERecGDL2 GDLText GDL-style TextEdit record for the
- text on the spine of the label.
- TERecGDL3 GDLText GDL-style TextEdit record for the
- text on the front of the label.
- Palette 32 Bytes Standard QuickDraw II Palette for
- this label.
-
- The GDLText fields are defined as follows:
-
- StyleLen (+000) Long Length of TextEdit style
- information (TEStyle info) for
- this TextEdit record.
- Style (+004) StyleLen Bytes TextEdit style information.

- this field.
