QuickDraw 3D

QuickDraw 3D is a cross-platform graphics library you can use to create three-dimensional models, apply colors and other attributes to parts of the models, and display images of those models on a screen, printer, or other output device.

Carbon does not support QuickDraw 3D. However, QuickDraw 3D will continue to be supported on Mac OS 8 and 9, and QuickDraw 3D applications run on Mac OS X in the Classic Environment. Apple is concentrating on providing support for the OpenGL standard on both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X. OpenGL is Carbon compliant and is available to Carbon applications on both systems as an extension to the Carbon APIs.
