13 Writing in a View

13 Q3View_StartWriting

You can use the Q3View_StartWriting function to start writing to a file.

TQ3Status Q3View_StartWriting (
TQ3ViewObject view, 
TQ3FileObject file);
view A view.
file A file object.

DESCRIPTION


The Q3View_StartWriting function begins the process of writing in the view specified by the view parameter, using the file object specified by the file parameter. After calling Q3View_StartWriting, you specify the model (for instance, by calling Q3Geometry_Submit). When you have completely specified that model, you should call Q3View_EndWriting to complete the write operation. The renderer attached to the specified view might need to reprocess the model data, so you should always call Q3View_StartWriting and Q3View_EndWriting in a writing loop.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS


You should not call Q3View_StartWriting while writing is already occurring.
