FLTK Windows that are children of top-level windows share the WindowRef +with the top-level window. +<h3>Drawing Things Using QuickDraw</h3> +When the virtual function <tt>Fl_Widget::draw()</tt> is called, FLTK has prepared +the Window and CGrafPort for drawing. Clipping and offsets are prepared to allow +correct subwindow drawing. +<br><br> +OS X doublebuffers all windows automatically. On OS X <tt>Fl_Window</tt> and +<tt>Fl_Double_Window</tt> are handled internally in the same way. +<h3>Mac File System Specifics</h3> +<h4>Resource Forks</h4> +FLTK does not access the resource fork of an application. However, a minimal +resource fork must be created for OS 8 and OS X applications. +<h4>Mac File Paths</h4> +FLTK uses Unix-style filenames and paths. + </BODY></HTML> |
