Application Services Framework Reference

This collection of documents provides the API reference for the Application Services framework, which includes several services—such as Quartz 2D and Mac OS X accessibility features—that are essential to Carbon applications. (The Quartz 2D API is defined in the Core Graphics interfaces, which begin with the letters “CG.“) The Application Services framework also includes support for a number of legacy technologies—such as QuickDraw and the Font Manager—that have been superseded with newer technologies like Quartz 2D and ATSUI.
