I have thought of that many times, but in the end you always need to
channel the graphics to the Window, and once on the Window its just
QuickDraw, if you write to your own context first and then to the
Window's QuickDraw port then you are triple buffering since OS X
already double buffers for you.
The problem here is that when they added Quartz then it should have
been so that Quartz was primary and QuickDraw the exception in the
mechanishm but it is the other way around. As for why REALbasic has
to have the only Graphics system in the world that does not support
at least ClipRect, that I will never understand, since the technology
under the REALbasic's Graphics supports it on all platforms, GDK,
GDI, GDI+, QuickDraw, Quartz, they all have it.

like the graphics class but does it correctly.
