This is the official online supplement to the Windows
2000 Graphics API Black Book by Damon Chandler and Michael
Fötsch (published by Coriolis Technology Press).
About the Book
The Windows 2000 Graphics API Black Book is
designed to serve as a definitive, no-nonsense reference to
creating robust and efficient graphics-based applications for
Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, and—of course—2000. Whether
you’re adding graphics support to an existing
project or creating a full-fledged graphics-based
application, this text will guide you through the steps necessary
to getting the job done quickly and effectively.
Each chapter opens with a comprehensive “In Depth”
section that’s designed to cut through the technical jargon
and get you up to speed with the latest Windows graphics-based
technologies such as the GDI, DirectDraw, and Image Color
Management (ICM). This section is followed by problem-solving
“Immediate Solutions” in each chapter that are
cross-referenced to help you find solutions and how-to
information quickly. Each solution provides a step-by-step
recipe—along with a code example—that you can follow to
get the job done without delay. Read a sample chapter
