Inquire about a setting of a draw 3D analysis context.

Syntax​

AIL_INT64 M3dblobInquireDraw(
AIL_ID DrawContext3dblobId, //in
AIL_INT64 Operation, //in
AIL_INT64 InquireType, //in
void * UserVarPtr //out
)

Description​

This function inquires about a specified setting of a draw 3D blob analysis context. Draw blob settings establish which blob features to draw into the 3D graphics list when calling M3dblobDraw3d and how to draw them.

You can control the draw blob settings using M3dblobControlDraw.

Parameters​

DrawContext3dblobId (in, AIL_ID)​

Specifies the identifier of the draw 3D blob analysis context to inquire.

Operation (in, AIL_INT64)​

Specifies the draw operation about which to inquire.

InquireType (in, AIL_INT64)​

Specifies the type of setting about which to inquire.

UserVarPtr *(out, void)​

Specifies the address in which to write the requested information. Since the M3dblobInquireDraw function also returns the requested information, you can set this parameter to M_NULL.
