20 August 1991 PatchworkView This is just a little hack I put together as a precursor to (I hope) more complicated and interesting modules for BackSpace.app. The end result was pretty nice, though, so I figured that someone might want to dump it in the old /LocalLibrary/BackSpaceViews directory for some occasional use. I think that After Dark on the Mac has a module like this, which is where I got the idea. It basically draws zillions of rectangles, rotated in all sorts of ways and in all different shades of grey or color, as the case may be (thanks to rob@lighthouse.com for sending me the color code), in random sizes, all over the screen. It draws solidly black rectangles more frequently than other shades of grey, so that the truly paranoid about screen burn-in can rest assured that there will be regular large black areas on their screens (at least momentarily) when they use this module. Boy is PostScript fun. Comments/suggestions welcome- Matt Pharr pharr@cs.yale.edu NeXTmail very welcome
