DvInqRendStyle(3D)

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 Dore 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 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 Dore System Guide.

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

[WARNING - invalid view handle]
