NAME

DvSetRendStyle − Set the rendering style of a view

SYNOPSIS

C:

void DvSetRendStyle(view, renderstyle)
DtObject view ;
DtRenderStyle renderstyle ;

Fortran:

CALL DVSRS(VIEW, RNDSTL)
INTEGER∗4 VIEW
INTEGER∗4 RNDSTL

DESCRIPTION

DvSetRendStyle sets the rendering style of the view specified by the parameter view.  The parameter renderstyle is a top level selection of the rendering process.  There are two currently supported rendering styles:

DcRealTime <DCRLTM>
Fast, interactive display rendering.  This renderer runs fast enough for dynamic operations that require continuous updates of the scene without the user’s awareness of rendering time.

DcProductionTime <DCPRTM>
Slowest, most realistic rendering.  This renderer does the most sophisticated rendering within the user’s requested parameters.  Dor´
e may economize if the application’s parameters negate the effect of the time-intensive techniques.

The actual techniques used by each of these renderstyles may change with new versions of Dor´
e and with different hardware implementations; the trade-off of time and realism should remain the same.

The value of renderstyle is a renderer identifier.  Using a renderer identifier other than the Dynamic Renderer identifier and the Standard Production Renderer identifier will select a new renderer (provided the renderer has been installed into your Doré configuration). 

ERRORS

DvSetRendStyle will fail if the view is invalid. 

[WARNING - invalid view handle]

DEFAULTS

The default render style is DcRealTime <DCPRTM>.
