DvSetFormFactorCompType(3D)

NAME
DvSetFormFactorCompType - Set the form factor computation type for a view

SYNOPSIS
C:
void DvSetFormFactorCompType(view, type, parms)
DtObject view ;
DtFormFactorCompType type;
DtReal parms[];

FORTRAN:
CALL DVSFFC(VIEW,TYPE,PARMS)
INTEGER*4 VIEW
INTEGER*4 TYPE
REAL*8 PARMS(*)

DESCRIPTION
DvSetFormFactorCompType sets the form factor computation type for a view. The form factors are computed when radiosity calculations are enabled. The form factor between two surfaces is the fraction of energy leaving one surface which lands on the other surface. Possible type values are:

DcFormFactorHemicube <DCFFHC>
    Use a hemicube with resolution parms[0] x parms[0]. The higher the resolution is, the more accurate the results will be, but the longer it will take to compute.

ERRORS
DvSetFormFactorCompType will fail if the view handle is invalid.

[WARNING - invalid view handle]

DEFAULTS
The default type is DcFormFactorHemicube <DCFFHC> with parms[0] equals to 128.
