Q3Renderer_GetType

You can use the Q3Renderer_GetType function to get the type of a renderer.

TQ3ObjectType Q3Renderer_GetType (TQ3RendererObject renderer);

renderer

A renderer.

DESCRIPTION

The Q3Renderer_GetType function returns, as its function result, the type of the renderer object specified by the renderer parameter. The types of renderer objects currently supported by QuickDraw 3D are defined by these constants:

kQ3RendererTypeWireFrame
kQ3RendererTypeGeneric
kQ3RendererTypeInteractive

If the specified renderer object is invalid or is not one of these types, Q3Renderer_GetType returns the value kQ3ObjectTypeInvalid.
