DvSetRendStyle(3D)

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. Most Dore configurations include at least the following rendering styles:

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

DcProductionTime <DCPRTM>
    Slower, most realistic rendering. This renderer does the most sophisticated rendering within the user's requested parameters. Dore 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 different Dore system configurations; 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, if the renderer has been installed in your Dore configuration. DsInqNumRenderers <DSQNR> and DsInqRendererNames <DSQRNS> return information about the installed renderers. See also your Dore System Guide.

ERRORS
DvSetRendStyle will fail if the view is invalid.

[WARNING - invalid view handle]

DEFAULTS
The default render style is DcRealTime <DCPRTM>.
