A) Does anyone know how to test if a system can use Color Quickdraw such as "IF gColorQDAvailable THEN" I assume there is something in Mac::Gestalt, I just can't quite figure it out. B) Also is there an equivalant to the the global variables for the five predefined bit patterns in basic QuickDraw? black - All-black pattern dkGray -75% gray pattern gray -50% gray pattern ltGray -25% gray pattern white -All-white pattern I tried a couple of things but couldn't seem to get any , and couldn't find any references to dkGray etc in QuickDraw.pm or QuickDraw.xs is this just something one need to define one's self. If so it's not a problem I have patterns for all of these. I was just wondering if there were globals already defined for it to slim down my code.
