Routines for Graphics Devices / Creating, Setting, and Disposing of GDevice Records

DisposeGDevice
Although your application generally should never need to use this routine, the DisposeGDevice procedure disposes of a GDevice record, releases the space allocated for it, and disposes of all the data structures allocated for it. The DisposeGDevice procedure is also available as the DisposGDevice procedure.
PROCEDURE DisposeGDevice (gdh: GDHandle);
gdh
A handle to the GDevice record.

DESCRIPTION
The DisposeGDevice procedure disposes of a GDevice record, releases the space allocated for it, and disposes of all the data structures allocated for it. Color QuickDraw calls this procedure when appropriate.

SEE ALSO
When your application uses the DisposeGWorld procedure to dispose of an offscreen graphics world, DisposeGDevice disposes of its GDevice record. See the chapter "Offscreen Graphics Worlds" in this book for a description of DisposeGWorld.
