QuickTime for Java: Working With QuickDraw

Overview QuickDraw is a graphics API that can be traced all the way back to that first Mac Steve Jobs pulled out of a bag and showed the press more than 20 years ago. The real advantage to understanding QuickDraw is that it's what's used to work with captured images and individual video samples. It is also a reasonably capable graphics API in its own right, supporting import from and export to many formats (most of which J2SE lacked until 1.4), affine transformations, compositing, and more.
