- This sample code illustrates how to use QuickTime's graphics importer routines
- to open and display image files. The graphics importer routines were introduced
- in QuickTime version 2.5 as a new way to draw still images. The graphics import
- routines (for example, GetGraphicsImporterForFile) use graphics import components
- (of component type 'grip') to open and perform other operations on image files.
- Essentially, you can use the graphics import routines to insulate your application
- from the nitty gritty details of image file format and compression used in the
- image.
-
- In this sample code, we allow the user to open an image file; then we draw it into
- a window on the screen. Your application, of course, will probably want to do more
- interesting things with the image. We also allow the user to save an image using JPEG
- compression.

- Enjoy,
- QuickTime Team
