Q3OrientationStyle_New

You can use the Q3OrientationStyle_New function to create a new orientation style object.

TQ3StyleObject Q3OrientationStyle_New (
TQ3OrientationStyle frontFacingDirection);

frontFacingDirection

An orientation style value.

DESCRIPTION

The Q3OrientationStyle_New function returns, as its function result, a new style object having the orientation style specified by the frontFacingDirection parameter. The frontFacingDirection parameter should be one of these values:

kQ3OrientationStyleCounterClockwise
kQ3OrientationStyleClockwise

If a new style object could not be created, Q3OrientationStyle_New returns the value NULL.

To change the current orientation style, you must actually draw the style object. You can call Q3Style_Submit to draw the style in retained mode or Q3OrientationStyle_Submit (described next) to draw the style in immediate mode.
