ObtainGIRPort -- Set up a RastPort for a custom gadget. (V36)
RPort = ObtainGIRPort( GInfo ) D0 A0 struct RastPort *ObtainGIRPort( struct GadgetInfo * );
Sets up a RastPort for use (only) by custom gadget hook routines. This function must be called EACH time a hook routine needing to perform gadget rendering is called, and must be accompanied by a corresponding call to ReleaseGIRPort(). Note that if a hook function passes you a RastPort pointer, e.g., GM_RENDER, you needn't call ObtainGIRPort() in that case.
A pointer to a GadgetInfo structure, as passed to each custom gadget hook function.
A pointer to a RastPort that may be used for gadget rendering. This pointer may be NULL, in which case you should do no rendering. You may (optionally) pass a null return value to ReleaseGIRPort().
