BackPat

void BackPat(newPat );

PatPtr newPat ; address of a Pattern structure

BackPat sets the background pattern, which is used by all Quickdraw erase

operations.

newPat is the address of an 8-byte Pattern structure.

Notes: This replaces the 8-byte bkPat field of the active GrafPort.

You may use one of the Quickdraw global patterns, white, gray, ltGray,

dkGray, or black:

BackPat( dkGray ); /* external constant */

Or you can create a pattern and use that:

StuffHex( &myPat, "\p0202020404040808" );

BackPat( &myPat );

Or you can go for the current desktop pattern (as set by the user via the

Control Panel DA).

BackPat( DeskPattern ); /* defined in Windows.h */

Or you can use one of the Standard Patterns by looking it up in the system

resource file:

Pattern myPat; /* structure to hold pattern */

GetIndPattern( &myPat, sysPatListID,12 ); /* brickwork */

BackPat( &myPat );
