NAME

DvInqRendStyle − Return the rendering style of a view

SYNOPSIS

C:

DtRenderStyle DvInqRendStyle(view)
DtObject view ;

FORTRAN:

INTEGER∗4 DVQRS(VIEW)
INTEGER∗4 VIEW

DESCRIPTION

DvInqRendStyle returns the rendering style of the view specified by the parameter view.  The rendering style is a top level selection of the rendering process.  Most Doré configurations include at least the following two rendering styles:

DcRealTime <DCRLTM>
Fast, interactive display rendering.  This renderer runs fast enough for dynamic operations that require continuous updates of the scene.

DcProductionTime <DCPRTM>
Slower, 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 value returned by DvInqRendStyle is equivalent to the identifier of the current renderer.  Using a renderer other than the dynamic renderer or the standard production renderer will result in a different renderer identifier returned from DvInqRendStyle.  For a complete list of available renderers, see your Doré System Guide. 

ERRORS

DvInqRendStyle will fail if the view parameter is not a valid view; the returned value is undefined. 

[WARNING - invalid view handle]
