3D Graphics Programming with QuickDraw 3D 1.5.4

Vendor and Engine IDs

QuickDraw 3D RAVE defines constants for vendor IDs. You pass a vendor ID as a parameter to the QAEngineEnable and QAEngineDisable functions, and you receive a vendor ID when you pass the kQAGestalt_VendorID selector to the QAEngineGestalt function.
