QuickDraw GX was a replacement for the QuickDraw (QD) 2D graphics engine and Printing Manager inside the classic Mac OS. Its underlying drawing platform was a resolution-independent object oriented retained mode system, making it much easier for programmers to perform common tasks (compared to the original QuickDraw). Additionally, GX added various curve-drawing commands that had been lacking from QD, as well as introducing TrueType as its basic font system.

- QuickDraw GX was a replacement for the QuickDraw (QD) 2D graphics engine and Printing Manager inside the classic Mac OS. Its underlying drawing platform was a resolution-independent object oriented retained mode system, making it much easier for programmers to perform common tasks (compared to the original QuickDraw). Additionally, GX added various curve-drawing commands that had been lacking from QD, as well as introducing TrueType as its basic font system. While GX certainly addressed many of the problems QD had, by the time it was available most developers had already developed their own solutions to these problems anyway. GX also suffered from causing a number of incompatibilities in existing programs, notably those that had developed their own QD extensions. This, coupled with opposition from an important fraction of the developer market, especially PostScript owner Adobe, and a lack of communication from Apple about the benefits of GX and why users should adopt it, led to the technology being sidelined. QuickDraw GX saw little development after its initial release, and was formally "killed" with the purchase of NeXT and the eventual adoption of the Quartz imaging model in Mac OS X. Many of its component features lived on and are now standard in the current Macintosh platform; TrueType GX in particular has, with a few tweaks, become a broadly used modern standard in the form of OpenType Variable Fonts.

In sostanza la nuova tecnologia introduceva molte incompatibilità che disturbavano l'utente e non sembravano apportare vantaggi sostanziali. Apple non riuscì a comunicare correttamente i vantaggi della tecnologia QuickDraw GX e alla fine fu costretta a eliminarla. Il motore di stampa venne eliminato dalla versione 8 del Mac OS mentre il motore grafico sopravvisse più a lungo sotto forma di estensione del sistema operativo chiamata "GXGraphics". QuickDraw GX venne totalmente eliminato con passaggio a macOS che introduceva un innovativo motore grafico basato sul formato PDF. (it)
