QuickDrawViewer: Mac OS X Utility for Visualizing QuickDraw PICT Files with PDF Export
By

Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
QuickDrawViewer is a Mac OS X utility developed as a Swift programming learning project that visualizes QuickDraw (PICT) image files and allows exporting them to PDF format. The project was created by rewriting existing Java QuickDraw code and released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original Macintosh computer. The author acknowledges the program is functional but has rough UI and rendering edge cases that need improvement.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledI wanted to teach myself Swift programming, and needed something a bit more involved than just Hello World, so I decided the write a program that would decode QuickDraw image files and display them.
This program is functional, although there are many rendering edge cases and the UI is a bit rough and the code could certainly be improved.
I originally decided to release it for the 40th anniversary of the original Macintosh computer.
This program is not meant to be a pixel correct QuickDraw viewer.
