Constants and Data Types for the Vector Imaging System

Vector Render Options

The vector render options enumeration defines constants for use in the renderOptions field of the vector imaging system structure.

enum {
   gxColorSort       = 0x00000001,
   gxATransferMode   = 0x00000002,
   gxNoOverlap       = 0x00000004,
   gxAColorBitmap    = 0x00000008,
   gxSortbyPenPos    = 0x00000010,
   gxPenLessPlotter  = 0x00000020,
   gxCutterPlotter   = 0x00000040,
   gxNoBackGround    = 0x00000080
};
typedef long gxVectorRenderOptions;

Constant descriptions

gxColorSort

You need to specify this option for pen plotters.

gxATransferMode

The driver needs to resolve transfer modes.

gxNoOverlap

The driver needs to produce non-overlapping output.

gxAColorBitmap

The driver needs to produce color bitmap output.

gxSortbyPenPos

The driver needs to draw shapes in the order of the pens in the pen table (which is not the same as the order of the pens in the pen carousel).

gxPenLessPlotter

The output device is a raster printer or plotter.

gxCutterPlotter

The output device has a cutter.

gxNoBackGround

Shapes that map to the background color are not sent to the driver.
