Basically, I'd like to see your opinions on the best method for performing clipping. I understand Intuition windows perform clipping automatically. Is this true regardless of the window type (SIMPLEREFRESH etc.)? I guess, the simplest method would be using a GZZ-window, but the manuals say something about performance disadvantages. Anyway, for this application, I'd like to provide zooming, so I must be able handle some kind of refreshing and resizing. So, a SIMPLEREFRESH window would do just as well. But I don't want to perform software clipping, and I don't know how to define a clipping region (I don't want to draw all over the window borders). I have read the old Libraries&Devices (the new one isn't available in Finland, yet) but, to be honest, I didn't quite understand the part about clipping regions. Should I just take the easy way out and use GZZ-windows or do they really cause a significant performance decrease? Any help (a small example) on clipping regions would also be nice. - Kari Sutela sutela@polaris.utu.fi OR sutela@kontu.utu.fi OR sutela@tucos.utu.fi
