That would be a fun hack! Apple still has a patent on QuickDraw regions, so you couldn't have those. But the rest would be pretty easy. LineTo, MoveTo, FillRect. I still remember QuickDraw, too! Why did nobody else make it so easy?

I'm glad you like the idea! I bet Andy Hertzfeld would like it too.

Now, about regions, if they don't have regions, how do they know what part of the windows need updating? In other words, how do they accumulate the information about which parts of the window are dirty?

Regions are useful!
