Draw Context Structure

QuickDraw 3D RAVE drawing routines operate on a draw context, which maintains state information and other data associated with a drawing engine. You access a draw context using a draw context structure, defined by the TQADrawContext data type.

You should not directly access the fields of a draw context structure. Instead, you should use the draw context manipulation macros defined by QuickDraw 3D RAVE. See "Manipulating Draw Contexts" for more information.

struct TQADrawContext {
    TQADrawPrivate                      *drawPrivate;
    const TQAVersion                    version;
    TQASetFloat                         setFloat;
    TQASetInt                           setInt;
    TQASetPtr                           setPtr;
    TQAGetFloat                         getFloat;
    TQAGetInt                           getInt;
    TQAGetPtr                           getPtr;
    TQADrawPoint                        drawPoint;
    TQADrawLine                         drawLine;
    TQADrawTriGouraud                   drawTriGouraud;
    TQADrawTriTexture                   drawTriTexture;
    TQADrawVGouraud                     drawVGouraud;
    TQADrawVTexture                     drawVTexture;
    TQADrawBitmap                       drawBitmap;
    TQARenderStart                      renderStart;
    TQARenderEnd                        renderEnd;
    TQARenderAbort                      renderAbort;
    TQAFlush                            flush;
    TQASync                             sync;
    TQASubmitVerticesGouraud            submitVerticesGouraud;
    TQASubmitVerticesTexture            submitVerticesTexture;
    TQADrawTriMeshGouraud               drawTriMeshGouraud;
    TQADrawTriMeshTexture               drawTriMeshTexture;

    TQAGetNoticeMethod                  getNoticeMethod;

typedef struct TQADrawContext TQADrawContext;
drawPrivate

setFloat
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for setting floating-point state variables.
setInt
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for setting unsigned long integer state variables.
setPtr
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for setting pointer state variables.
getFloat
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for getting floating-point state variables.
getInt
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for getting unsigned long integer state variables.
getPtr
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for getting pointer state variables.
drawPoint
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for drawing points.
drawLine
A function pointer to the drawing engine's method for drawing lines.
