What can I do with QuickDraw GX?
-
QuickDraw GX provides application
programs with advanced graphics, type, and color
capabilities when creating images and documents destined
for print, multimedia, or the World Wide Web.
Enhanced graphics capabilities is one of the most powerful aspects of QuickDraw GX. QuickDraw GX revolutionizes the way the Mac OS deals with graphics. Graphics are no longer confined to a resolution 72 dots per inch; instead they can be viewed or printed at any resolution supported by your monitor or printer. (No more jaggies.)
QuickDraw GX also brings fundamental changes to the way you work with text. QuickDraw GX makes creating special typographic effects and working with all fonts easy. It gives you precise control over the appearance of all fonts in a document. Functions you would find in a high-end page layout program are now available in all GX-savvy programs. While GX-savvy fonts allow you to create all sorts of special effects using things such as rare ligatures, fractions, kerning, and tracking.
Finally, QuickDraw GX cooperates fully with Apple's ColorSync color management technology. ColorSync, a system extension, adds new color capabilities to the Mac OS. It assures consistent color between scanners, displays, printers, and other input and output devices by converting how color is represented on one device to how it is represented on another device. It does this while maintaining consistent visual representation.
