There is a fair chance that something will not work exactly right (esp in MVC) after these changes, but also some nice things (like translucency in 8 bits) now DO work.  We've been running with it for a week, but let us know of anything strange in this area.

> 1862CanvasRework -- Andreas Raab -- 17 February 2000
> This (rather large) change set modifies many of the internals of Canvases and cleans up drawing related parts of Morphic. The primary intent is to provide a stronger fence between Morphic and BitBlt (since BitBlt is subject to change very soon). Everyone using lots of drawing methods from Canvas - repeat after me:
> 	'I will not use combination rules with a Canvas'
> 	'I WILL use a Color where I mean a Color'
> Clients that require effects that are currently not part of the Canvas interface should setup their own BitBlt operations, fetching and restoring the portions of the destination form explicitly (see CornerRounder for an example). For getting the contents of the Canvas the methods #contentsOfArea: and #contentsOfArea:into: have been provided.
> For stating the intent of displaying an image more clearly, the following methods have been added:
> * drawImage:at:[sourceRect:]
> Plainly draw the image (e.g., what used to be represented as Form>>over).
> * paintImage:at:[sourceRect:]
> Draw an image that has a certain source key to be treated as transparent (e.g., what used to be represented as Form>>paint)
> * translucentImage:at:[sourceRect:]
> Draw an image that might contain transparency values. This is an explicit hint for the canvas to choose a representation which is best suited for the target device (e.g., in a FormCanvas this may result in different combination rules depending on the source and target depth).
> The public use of the following methods is highly disapproved:

>   [Considered to be PRIVATE]
> The methods are still kept for compatibility but will definitely go away at some time.
> Additional notes: 
> * You will get errors when attempting to pass a bit pattern as a color. This is intentional - Canvases are smart enough to figure out how to represent any given color best. 
> * The change set has one minor known glitch - gradients look ugly in 8bit depth or less. The problem will be addressed later; once the BitBlt modifications are completed it will go away all by itself.

The change set also adds a comment stating the purpose for computing the shadow form."

> This appeared harmless when the PluggableButtonView is relatively centered with respect to the enclosing View and the borderWidth is symmetric (as is the case with existing system windows), PluggableButtonViews will otherwise display with an out-of-center label.

For best results, this should be used together with PluggableButtonView changeset posted contemporaneously with this changeset.  The changesets may be loaded in any order.
> 1) Implements a more graphically attractive 'standard file dialog' service similar to those found in Windows, MacOS and many Unix GUIs.  It is basically a highly pluggable modal FileList with buttons -- See the class comment for more detail.

> 	y _ PluggableFileList putFile
> 	z _ PluggableFileList getFolder
> 2) PluggableFileList is installed as the MVC operation for the 'file...' menu selection as well.  In time I hope to build a Morphic-side dialog, so to replace the present menu-based interface used there.
> 3) This changeset introduces a ModalSystemWindowView for building Modal dialogs in MVC.
> 4) The changeset also fixes a typo in ScreenController, in which an earlier change set had inadvertently elided the words 'dual change sorter' to 'chang'"
