MacDraw PICT Files from Basic

By Bob Andris, Lockheed Corp.

Why “Draw” a ‘PICT’ File?

This article should really have been titled “ ‘PICT’ing in ZBasic™ “, but that didn’t sound quite as clear. The ‘PICT’ file format is rapidly becoming the standard for transferring High Quality graphics between programs, and not just graphics programs. To name just a few, MacDraw™, MacDraft™, Cricket Draw™, and SuperPaint™ all will both read and write ‘PICT’ files. However, layout programs like PageMaker™ will also read ‘PICT’ files in directly with its “Place” command. In addition to all of the above a word processor like Word™ 3.0 will pass ‘PICT’ information back and forth through the clipboard and retain the individuality of each ‘PICT’ element. Why all of this compatibility? The answer to that one is simply called the “LaserWriter™”!

The LaserWriter with its PostScript™ language treats all ‘PICT’ elements as separate objects, not bit maps, and prints (or better yet, “draws”) them vectorially. That’s why a diagonal line has nice sharp edges, and not the “jaggies” that go with the individual pixels of a bit map. This even holds true for text! As the quest for higher and higher quality proliferates, the ‘PICT’ format will become even more prevalent. The ‘PICT’ format is also inherently faster than most because it is the format that ‘QuickDraw’ in the ROM is using to begin with!

All of the graphics programs mentioned previously also have their own proprietary file format, including MacDraw. Getting into those formats is not the purpose of this article. It is “ ‘PICT’ing “ that we’ll be covering in detail. And, as you will see, “draw”ing a ‘PICT’ file in ZBasic is even easier than “paint”ing a ‘PNTG’ file in ZBasic as I covered in a previous article.

What’s in the ‘PICT’ure?

First of all, there are several good references on the ‘PICT’ file format and ‘QuickDraw’ing a picture, so I’ll give them to you now.

MacDraw’s PICT File Format and Comments, Macintosh Technical Note #27, by Ginger Jernigan, Aug. 20, 1986.

QuickDraw’s Internal Picture Definition, Macintosh Technical Note #21, by Ginger Jernigan, June 20, 1986.

Optimizing for the LaserWriter--Picture Comments, Macintosh Technical Notes #91, by Ginger Jernigan, Mar. 2, 1987.

Inside Macintosh™ Volume I, chapter 6, QuickDraw, in particular Pictures and Polygons starting on p 158.

As Inside Mac says on page 158, “A picture in QuickDraw is a transcript of calls to routines that draw something--anything--in a bit image.”. Whoa ! ! ! What happened to all this elements, objects, and vector stuff this idiot was just talking about? Well, the bit image they’re talking about on page 158 is the screen. The things that get stored in the files and also sent to the LaserWriter are those calls friends, not a bit image!

Since pictures are all of varying size, i.e., length, as we could have guessed a Picture is really just a variable length record. The record always starts with the following two fixed-length fields:

picSize:INTEGER; {size of record in bytes}
picFrame: Rect;  {picture frame}

Immediately following the two fixed-length fields are the ‘QuickDraw’ calls to generate the picture. It is important to point out that the size (picSize) includes the first two fixed-length fields themselves. If we were to write out this picture record to a file we’d have what we need, right? Wrong! All of the programs mentioned previously would spit-up something terrible. So, what’s missing? Well, it’s a header of some kind . . . that’s what makes a picture record into a ‘PICT’ file. So let’s get into that now.

The MacDraw ‘PICT’ file format

Referring you to tech note #21, MacDraw gives you the option to use two file formats. They are DRWG and PICT. The DRWG format is the internal one that only MacDraw understands. The PICT format is the one we’ll look at in MacDraw. Rather than just drone on and on, it’s time for an example. I went into MacDraw, itself, drew a simple five-sided ‘closed’ polygon, saved it as a ‘PICT’ file and then went into Fedit+™ to take a look at it with tech note #27 in hand. Figure 1 shows the polygon as you normally see it in MacDraw.

Fig. 1 A draw figure created from Basic!

As we can see, there’s not much to it. Just an ordinary polygon. The total file size, as stored by MacDraw, is just 570 bytes. That’s good, since the actual ‘PICT’ure part of it is only 58 bytes long. A quick mental calculation tells us the header is our old friend, 512-bytes, long! Same length as the ‘Paint’ file headers were. Now let’s view what you find in Fedit+ and take a close look at the header.

Fig. 2 ‘Fedit+’ View of the “MacDraw”ed Polygon File

Figure 2 is the “ Fedit+ ”ed look at both sectors of the MacDraw ‘PICT’ file called “Polygon”. The breaks in the sector views are where they become all zero from then on. The numbers in the left halves are the hex representation of the code and to the right is the ASCII representation. Here’s what we find in the header (refer to tech note #27):

MacDraw PICT File Header

4452  5747fType  ‘DRWG’ in ASCII for
 MacDraw 1.7 & 1.9
 4D44 hdrID ‘MD’ in ASCII

 0001 lTottotal no. of all objects
0000  0066lSiz total size of list

0055  0000left box of all objects (= 85)
0046  0000bottom box of all objects (= 70)
00E1  0000right  box of all objects (=225)
0007 to filler 282 unused bytes
 0000   (ends with position 0001FF)

Creating this header for each different file would be quite time consuming and also subject to error. Fortunately we’re in luck! Tech note #27 says “If MacDraw opens a PICT file and finds that it has a different hdrID than MacDraw expects, or that the first block is zeroed, it ignores the header and uses its own default document settings.”. So all we will have to do to create a “MacDraw” ‘PICT’ file in ZBasic is to start it out with 512 bytes of zero (0)! The second part of Figure 2 is the data for the actual QuickDraw ‘PICT’ure of the polygon. Let’s get into that now.

Pic comments are Helpful

MacDraw makes extensive use of picture comments [CALL PICCOMMENT( . . . ) in ZBasic] to gain more functions than are available with the standard QuickDraw calls. They are also used to guide the LaserWriter in “drawing” a complex set of figures and text. A good example is using piccomments to tie arrowheads and lines together in order to make the combination a single entity, the arrowhead-line. There are two types of piccomments available, the so-called ‘shortComment’ and its companion the ‘longComment’. The long one allows you to specify a variable-length data record to be executed, while the ‘shortComment’ has simply one operation, like “picPlyClo”, which means we’re drawing a “closed” polygon. The only ones we‘ll be needing here are the short comments. They are characterized by a one (1) byte ‘opcode’, which is ‘A0’, followed by a two (2) byte ‘kind’ which describes the action desired.

The first item in the QuickDraw picture is always 2 bytes of record size, which includes the 2 bytes themselves. Then comes the picture frame, of type ‘Rectangle’, which means 8 bytes (4 words or integers) of rectangle description. This is followed with the picture definition. What we do now is look at the first byte, the ‘opcode’ (operation code), which tells us what is going to be described and then the descriptions will follow. Then we look for the next ‘opcode’ and the process keeps repeating until the picture is finished. Now we can take a look at that “PICT’ure data in the second half of Figure 2:

 * dh & dv are both (-128 . . . +127), so if

Now let’s take a break from all of this and get into some programming.

The “MacDraw/ZBasic” Polygon Program

The first ZBasic program at the end of this article is called “MacDrawPoly.BAS”. It is the shortest and simplest of the three, and was written to try a couple of different approaches to creating the same figure. We begin by defining the ‘opcodes’ for the ‘short’ piccomments we’ll be needing, and then we define the picture rectangle and CALL SETRECT( . . . ) to initialize it. After this, we ‘open’ the picture and get a ‘handle’ to it (PicHand&); and then ‘begin’ the picture with a piccomment. I should point out here that the ‘picDwgBeg’ and its converse ‘picDwgEnd’ are really not necessary, but they do make the QuickDraw description of the picture much more efficient.

The first file created uses piccomments to tell it a ‘polygon’ is coming, that the polygon is of the ‘closed’ type, and that the polygon description is completed. The second file use the more standard QuickDraw calls to open, close, frame, and ‘kill’ the polygon. Now we open a file and give it a type of ‘PICT’ and creator of ‘MDRW’ (for MacDraw). As discussed previously, the first thing we do is write-out a 512 byte header of zeroes. Then we get the ‘pointer’ to the picture data from the ‘handle’ we got at the beginning of the program.

As you can see from the coding, PicLength%=PEEK WORD(PicPtr&+0), the length of the entire picture record is contained in the first 2 bytes (one word or integer) of the record itself. We need this to know how much data to write-out to the files. The ‘monkeying’ around you see to get the number of words (integers) from this length-of-record is merely to insure we’ll include the ‘FF’ (EndofPicture) at the end of the record. I’ll point out that with this method, sometimes you’ll get an extra byte after the ‘FF’, before the file is actually closed (50-50 chance). This won’t hurt anything, because “MacDraw”, and all the rest, know that ‘FF’ means it’s all done drawing your picture! Figure 3 compares the ‘polygons’ as done by “MacDraw” itself, and as done by the ZBasic program.

Fig. 3 Comparison of the Polygons

Compare the Actual Polygon File Data

As we can see, all three polygons in Figure 3 sure look the same. But the proof of the pudding is to use Fedit+ again and take a look at the actual data. Figure 4 does this for “MacDraw.poly1”, the first of our ZBasic files.

Well, the first thing we notice is the 512 byte header of zeroes. And since “MacDraw” read it in, we know that part of the approach works. In comparing Figure 2 to Figure 4, we find that our ZBasic polygon’s ‘PICT’ data is also 58 bytes long - so far so good. As a matter of fact, the match is perfect except for the “bottom” and “right” of the ‘clip’ rectangle. These numbers are $0117(279 dec) and $01E7(487 dec) which happens to be the ‘vis’ and also the ‘clip’ regions of ZBasic’s default window! We could change the clipping region in our program to get them to match perfectly - but as we will see later, the only thing affected is what is visible on the screen when the picture is being generated. “MacDraw” and all the rest ignore this when they read in a “default-header” file and reset the ‘clip’ region as necessary. As a matter of fact, it changes constantly with how much reduction or expansion you are using at the time. The ‘PICT’ data for “MacDraw.poly2” was 65 bytes long and was constructed slightly differently. Figure 5 shows us those differences.

Fig. 4 ZBasic’s ‘PICT’ Polygon File

The first thing we notice is that the ‘PolyBegin’, ‘PolyEnd’, and ‘picPlyClo’ piccomments are missing, just as we coded the program. However there is a new ‘opcode’ at position 00021A; it is ‘$70’ which is the opcode for ‘framePoly’. Our ZBasic CALL FRAMEPOLY( . . . ) produced this for us. This opcode is followed by ‘polySize’, ‘polyBBox’, and ‘polyPoints’ which are the size of the polygon record, the bounding box, or rectangle, and the array of points, respectively. The method used in “poly1” is more efficient than that used in “poly2”, but for just a few points per polygon the payoff is not that great. Now let’s get on to something with a little more visual appeal.

Fig. 5 ZBasic Version of a ‘Conventional’ Polygon

Fill and Pen Patterns

The second program at the end of this article, “MacDrawPat.BAS”, will look like Figure 6 when you run it “interactively” in ZBasic. Referring to the listing you’ll see a CALL SHOWPEN, which allows us to see what is going on while running. As mentioned in Inside Mac and the ZBasic manual, when we ‘open’ a ‘PICT’ure QuickDraw makes the pen ‘invisible’. Conversely, when we ‘close’ it, the pen gets turned back on. So if you want to watch, do a ‘showpen’ after opening the picture. Just be sure to ‘hidepen’ before you hit the ‘closepicture’.

This program gets us into patterns in QuickDraw. A pattern is simply an 8 by 8 array of pixels, or data, which can be used for ‘filling’, ‘painting’, and for ‘drawing’ by the pen. If you remember back when we did ‘Paint’ing in ZBasic, we simply did PEN ,,,,32 and got the thirty-secondth pen pattern to use. Well we can do the same thing with our “MacDraw” ‘PICT’ files. But, BE CAREFUL! MacDraw does NOT use the same patterns as the ‘Paint’ programs. It has its own patterns, while the ‘Paint’ programs use a set that resides in the System File. If you use a pattern that MacDraw does not have it will do one of three things:

(1) default to black

(2) default to white

(3) spit-up all over itself

So, we will have to get the exactly correct patterns to use. There are three ways to do this that I know of. First, there is a [Not in ROM] procedure on p 473 of Inside Mac, Vol. I, called ‘GetIndPattern’ which would do it. But that procedure is not yet implemented in ZBasic. Second, by using ZBasic’s FN GETRESOURCE( . . . ) and a little manipulation you could probably get the patterns. The third way is to look at the patterns, convert them to hex-strings, and use CALL STUFFHEX( . . . ) to put them into a real pattern record. The third way is shown pictorially in Figure 7. First fire-up “ResEdit”, open up MacDraw, and find the resource ‘PAT#’. That’s where the 36 ‘fill’ patterns reside. The first one is ‘None’, the second is ‘white’, the third is ‘black’, etc. Watch that first one (None)! I haven’t found a pattern for ‘None’ yet, so I just don’t do a ‘fill’ if the desired pattern is ‘None’.

Fig. 6 ZBasic Run of “MacDrawPat.BAS”

In order to save you the work of converting 36 patterns, they are all listed as ‘DATA’ statements at the end of the program. There are a couple of other points of interest in “MacDrawPat.BAS”. First is the sequence of the graphics calls. Referring to the listing you will notice that they appear in the following order:

(1) draw the single-weight line

(2) draw the ‘brick’ filled rectangle

(3) draw the ‘diamond’ filled oval

(4) draw the double-weight line

(5) draw the ‘inverted-V’ filled round-rectangle

Now looking back at Figure 6, you see that’s how they are stacked on the screen. This is the same effect that the “Bring to Front” and “Send to Back” commands under the “Arrange” menu in “MacDraw” will produce. You can use this to your advantage.

Fig. 7 ‘FillPattern’ Conversion

‘Fill’ and ‘Paint’ are NOT the Same

The second item of interest, is that ‘filling’ and ‘painting’ are not the same action in QuickDraw. If you CALL FILLRECT( . . . ) and then follow it with CALL FRAMERECT( . . . ) you get a ‘filled’ rectangle that has the pattern and the frame “GROUPED” as MacDraw does with its ‘Fill’ menu. The top half of the file “MacDraw.demo” is generated this way. However, if you CALL PAINTRECT( . . . ) and then follow it with CALL FRAMERECT( . . . ) you get a ‘painted’ rectangle that is “NOT GROUPED”. In other words, the ‘paint’ can “spill” out of the frame. I took the file “MacDraw.demo” into MacDraw to demonstrate this, as shown in Figure 8.

As you can see, the bottom three figures have their ‘paint’ selected and then dragged out of the frames. You can get this same effect in “MacDraw”, itself, by drawing your shape, ‘filling’ it with your selected pattern, and then changing its frame line to 0-weight (the ‘dashed’ line under the ‘Lines’ menu). The only reason to do it this way in our program is that ‘paint’ing avoids the ‘stuffhex’ call to set up the pattern and get a pointer to it.

The “MacDrawFiles.BAS” Program

The last program of the three is the largest and incorporates all of the features of “MacDraw” itself. It won’t let you work interactively, like ‘selecting’ lines and moving them around. I’ll let that to MacDraw and the others. But it will give you the tools to create a MacDraw compatible file inside of your ZBasic program and get the full benefit of:

(1) any selected font family

(2) all 8 “MacDraw” font sizes

(3) all 6 “MacDraw” font styles & combinations

(4) all 36 “MacDraw” fill/pen patterns

(5) all 5 “MacDraw” line weights

(6) all 3 “MacDraw” arrowhead lines

(7) all 9 “MacDraw” tools along the ‘left pallete’, i.e.,:

a. text

b. orthogonal lines

c. diagonal lines

d. rectangles

e. rounded-corner rectangles

f. ovals

g. arcs

h. freehand

i. polygons

Fig. 8 Effects of ‘Painting’

Figure 9 shows two different parts of the “MacDraw.text” file. The upper half has several different fonts, all in 12 pt Bold. It also contains the 6 basic font styles and a combination of Bold-through-Shadow.

The lower half uses Helvetica, in Bold, to illustrate all 8 “MacDraw” font sizes. Although you can invoke any font size in your ZBasic program, MacDraw only allows these eight sizes. If you give it a size it doesn’t have, say 16 pt, it will “default” to 12 pt. The moral of the story is . . . if you are going to bring your drawing into MacDraw, itself, use these sizes only - even if you ‘fudged’ it (“Tiny 9” is an example).

The upper left portion of Figure 10 shows most of the 36 ‘fill’ patterns and the upper right shows a portion of the 36 ‘pen’ patterns. ‘Scrolling’ around in MacDraw will give you a better look at all of them. The center portion of the upper half of Figure 10 contains the different line weights and the start of the ‘arrowhead’ lines. Some more of these ‘arrowhead’ lines are shown down the center of the lower half of the figure. The geometric shapes are along the left and right sides of the lower half.

Having mentioned ‘scrolling’ you should also be aware that if you extend your ‘work of art’ past the boundaries you set up for your ‘picRect’ the info is still there. Just go down to the bottom of the “Layout” menu in MacDraw to the “Drawing Size” item and select a few more pages to look at. You’ll then be able to scroll around and see the ‘missing’ portions.

Fig. 9 ‘text’ Output of “MacDrawFiles.BAS”

Items of Special Interest

If you look at the listing of “MacDrawFiles.BAS” there are several things of special interest you should note. First of all, as mentioned earlier, don’t even bother to call ‘fillrect’, ‘filloval’, etc., if you want ‘None’ for the fill. Even though it is in the fill data, it’s just there for completeness of the data set. Second, the 0 pen size does produce ‘invisible’ lines, but you’ll never find them. QuickDraw does not bother to save ‘invisible’ lines. You can verify this by going directly into MacDraw, drawing a line, making it invisible, and saving the drawing in the ‘PICT’ format. Quit out of it, load the drawing, and “Select All” under the “Edit” menu. Nothing. Note, the MacDraw proprietary format, however, will save those invisible lines!

Fig. 10 ‘graphics’ Output of “MacDrawFiles.BAS”

The third thing to take a look at is the ovalWidth and ovalHeight for the rounded-corner rectangles. They are both shown as 20 pixels in size. I’ve tried several different size and aspect-ratio rounded-corner rectangles in MacDraw, itself, and they always come back 20-by-20 if you leave it’s default settings alone. You can go under the ‘Edit’ menu and change the corners to any one of 6 different settings. Our fourth item of interest is the so-called freehand tool. MacDraw uses the ‘polygon’ to describe freehand drawing . . . but not exactly. It really is a polygon, but I don’t know what algorithm MacDraw uses to decide when to add a new point to the polygon. When you ‘draw’ freehand in your programs, you’ll probably use a lot more points than MacDraw ever would.

The last item is arrowheads! These were the toughest of all to nail down. Finally, I created a special subroutine called, naturally, “ArrowHeads”. Just feed it the x & y coordinates of both end points of the line (xahl1%, yahl1%, xahl2%, & yahl2%) and the type of arrowhead desired (ArrwPt%=1 for end-pt 1, 2 for 2, & 3 for both) and it will figure out the angles and adjust the line length for the proper match with the arrowhead(s). Study the subroutine coding (it’s heavily commented) and it will become clear what it has to do.

ZBasic configuration

Since ZBasic can be “configured” to just about any range of variables imagined, I’ve elected to include the configuration that was used for running the programs in Figure 11. All three will run with version 3.03 or higher.
