Source Code Package Highlights

New Skel, by Ingemar Ragnemalm

Posted: 7-14-07
Lookalike for the old Skel demo, but rewritten from the ground up for modern Carbon. Carbon Events, nibs, menus. A reasonable skeleton program to build from, including stubs for the most basic event types.
- Carbon events
- NIBs
- Menus
- Basic event types

API Wars, by Ingemar Ragnemalm

Posted: 7-14-07
Graphics demo with attitude. In particular it is a CG demo covering more than the usual trivial rectangles, including loading images from files. It also shows, for the record, that QuickDraw is not as old-fashioned and uncapable as some people try to tell us.

HISimpleList, by Gale Paeper

Posted: 9-01-06
Pascal conversion of Apple's HISimpleList sample code. Shows how to use HIView related APIs to implement CarbonEvents based custom controls. Demonstrates using CFMLateImport sample code as an alternate method for calling CoreGraphics routines in a PPC CFM project without Mach-O function pointer hassles. Updated for compiling with Mac OS X Pascal Interfaces Version G and common source code building with CodeWarrior Pascal and GNU Pascal compilers. Includes projects for CW Pro 8.3 CW Pascal building, CW Pro 8.3 GNU Pascal plugin building, and Xcode 2.x GNU Pascal Xcode integration Kit building.

- Resources from bundles

Quartz Demo, by Christian Franz

Posted: 4-30-06

CTRL Demo, by Christian Franz

Posted: 11-30-05
Demo application that installs two custom controls into a window and shows you how to handle direct control clicks and commands sent by the control. When you click into the control, you will be presented with a color picker. After picking a color, the control will send a command to your application.
- Carbon Custom Controls
- Carbon Event Handlers for windows and Applications
- Carbon Commands

GWorld Demos, by Ranko Bojanic

Posted: 10-2-05
This project uses GWorld mappings and linear interpolations between starting and ending colors (click on colored rectangles in bottom right corner to get new random starting and ending colors or use color picker to select these colors). Click on 'Copy from GWorld' button to see a gradual transition from one color into the other. Includes source code, executable, and CW Pro 7 project files.
- GWorld mappings
- Linear interpolations of colors

Makevc, by Willett Kempton

Posted: 4-17-05
Makevc is a Pascal program to make vCards, and is useful for converting a contact list or address book from an older program. Makevc does a good deal of recognizing (e.g., pulling street, PO Box, zip, country, etc., out of a unitary, undifferentiated address field. This project was compiled with GPC and Dr. Pascal, and includes source and executable (runs in Terminal mode on OS X and DOS mode on Windows).
- GPC Pascal example
- Creates vCards
- Interprets unitary, undifferentiated fields

RandomWalks, by F.C. Kuechmann

Posted: 2-15-05

Game of Life, by F.C. Kuechmann

Posted: 2-15-05
This is a sample Pascal project that uses Codewarrior Pro 8 with Metrowerks Pascal. This program is a Pascal version of Conway's "Game of Life", and includes source code, project, and executable.
- CW Pro 8

- Mach-O Calls
- GNU Pascal
- Codewarrior GNU integration

Object Array Defs, by James Derrick

Posted: 7-17-04

- Array handling
- FFTs
- Data plotting

Bubul, by Jean-Claude Jesior

Updated: 6-24-04
This sample is mainly an illustration of the use of CopyBits in Carbon. It also shows how to handle movable dialogs and how to set their font. Project has been compiled with CodeWarrior 8.3 in Mac OS 10.3.2, and includes source code, project files, and executables for both OS 9 and OS X.
- Carbon Copybits
