I am writing a Lisp interface to Mac Pict objects, and
there is one thing I can't figure out from Inside Mac.
Where is the information about groups? If two graphic objects are
grouped [say in MacDraw], then transferred via the clipboard to
some other application [say, Canvas, Fullwrite, etc.] that has a
group operation, the groups information is preserved. That seems to
indicate that it resides in the Pict object. However, I cannot
find any Pict opcode that has anything to do with grouping. Could it
perhaps be in the [uninterpreted] so-called "picture comments", and if
so, is its format documented? Or has anyone already done a Lisp/Pict
interface?
