StdPutPic

The default Quickdraw picture-saving routine

#include <Quickdraw.h> Quickdraw

void StdPutPic(srcPtr, byteCnt );

Ptr srcPtr ; address of some picture definition data

short byteCnt ; how many bytes are there

This is Quickdraw's low-level routine for storing picture- definition

information as it creates a picture (see OpenPicture). The default

procedure simply copies data to an in-memory buffer addressed by PicHandle.

srcPtr is the address of a buffer containing at least byteCnt bytes of

picture-definition data. Upon return, this data has been saved for

later retrieval.

byteCnt specifies the number of bytes of picture-definition information in

the buffer at srcPtr .

Notes: Use StdPutPic only if your application intercepts the Quickdraw

bottleneck routines (see SetStdProcs).

This is a bottleneck routine that is frequently intercepted by application

programs. By creating a custom version of StdGetPic and StdPutPic that

is able to access a disk file, you can store and retrieve pictures larger than

the maximum limits set by Quickdraw.
