GetPort
GetPort Find which GrafPort is currently active
#include <Quickdraw.h> Quickdraw
void GetPort(curPort );
GrafPtr *savePort ; receives pointer to current active GrafPort
GetPort copies a pointer to the current active GrafPort into a local variable.
savePort is the address of a GrafPtr. Upon return, it will contain a copy of
the global variable thePort (i.e., a pointer to the current active
GrafPort).
Returns: none
Notes: GetPort is often used to save the value of the current GrafPort before
activating a different one. See SetPort for an example.
You may prefer to access the global variable thePort directly:
GetPort( &savePort );
... is synonymous with ...
savePort = thePort;
