piddleQD

piddle backend for: MacOS QuickDraw


Applicability

This backend generates MacOS QuickDraw graphics within a window of the Mac Python IDE. The graphics generated can be copied to the clipboard as standard (nonpixelated) PICT data. This backend does not work on non-Mac platforms. It does not work (at least, not easily) without the IDE.

Currently, it also requires a patch to get MacPython up to pre-release standards (see below). This is a set of files which have been updated in the developer's distribution since 1.5.2b1, but have not yet been released. They won't be needed once 1.5.2 (final) is released.
