One notable feature of CricketDraw was its ability to display the raw PostScript code and the QuickDraw-interpreted elements simultaneously in two windows, the same way Adobe Systems's Dreamweaver does with HTML code now.
Basic color images and text were possible using a color ribbon, a feature that was supported by the original version of QuickDraw on the Macintosh (although running on a monochrome platform, actually supported output for eight colors).
