	PROGRAMMING WITH QUARTZ 2D and PDF Graphics in Mac OS X To order this title, and for more information, click here By David Gelphman, Apple, Cupertino, California, U.S.A. Bunny Laden, Apple, Cupertino, California, U.S.A. Included in series The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics, Description Written by members of the development team at Apple, Programming with Quartz is the first book to describe the sophisticated graphics system of Mac OS X. By using the methods described in this book, developers will be able to fully exploit the state-of-the-art graphics capabilities of Mac OS X in their applications, whether for Cocoa or Carbon development. This book also serves as an introduction to 2D graphics concepts, including how images are drawn and how color is rendered. It includes guidance for working with PDF documents, drawing bitmap graphics, using Quartz built-in color management, and drawing text. Programming with Quartz is a rich resource for new and experienced Mac OS X developers, Cocoa and Carbon programmers, UNIX developers who are migrating to Mac OS X, and anyone interested in powerful 2D graphics systems. Audience Cocoa and Carbon programmers who want to understand and fully exploit the power of the graphics system in Mac OS X and those who are looking to add new drawing capabilities, add support for PDF documents, or improve the quality of the graphics in their applications. UNIX developers interested in the graphics capabilities of Mac OS X. Web developers who want to create dynamic content using Quartz.
