hey guys I have a fairly easy question.
How do I go about creating a background that's independant from the foreground in a graphics world. What I mean is I'm creating a simple application to learn the quickdraw APIs. I want to have a background that is constant but have pictures appear overtop of it in a seperate layer. Moverover, if I want to have a irregular picture overlaid on top of my background, I don't want the white spaces of the bounding rectangle to be copied.
Here is an example:
I have a background picture....let's make a solid black picture for the sake of simplicity. I copy a PICT resource of a ball and I want to draw the ball into the black background. I only want circular area to be copied.
Thanx in advance!
