Re: CG vs QuickDraw



Ingemar Ragnemalm

Transparency, anti-aliasing: Not really an issue, QuickDraw does them
pretty well.

Really? I had a heck of a time getting good anti-aliasing with QuickDraw.

That's the ones I have come up with so far.

You missed: thread safety. Since QuickDraw uses globals, it is not thread-safe. Worse, it can only be used from the main thread. IIRC, Quartz is safe as long as each thread has its own context.
