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

Syntax​

AIL_INT64 M3dmetInquireDraw(
AIL_ID DrawContext3dmetId, //in
AIL_INT64 Operation, //in
AIL_INT64 InquireType, //in
void * UserVarPtr //out
)

Description​

This function inquires about a specified setting of a draw 3D metrology context. These settings establish which metrology results to draw into the 3D graphics list when calling M3dmetDraw3d and how to draw them.

You can control the draw 3D metrology context settings using M3dmetControlDraw.

Parameters​

DrawContext3dmetId (in, AIL_ID)​

Specifies the identifier of the draw 3D metrology context to inquire. The draw 3D metrology context must have been previously allocated on the required system using M3dmetAlloc with M_DRAW_3D_CONTEXT.

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 M3dmetInquireDraw function also returns the requested information, you can set this parameter to M_NULL.

Parameter Associations​

For inquiring a draw 3D metrology context​

The following Operation and InquireType parameter settings are available to inquire about draw 3D metrology contexts settings.


M_DRAW_VOLUME_ELEMENTS​

Inquires whether and how to draw the volume elements used to compute the volume, independent of whether the elements contributed positively or negatively to the volume.

M_ACTIVE​

Inquires whether to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_ACTIVE)

M_APPEARANCE​

Inquires whether to draw the graphic(s) as a solid surface, wireframe, or points.

ValueDescription
(see M_APPEARANCE)

M_COLOR​

Inquires the color with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_COLOR)
Byte-encoded RGB valueSpecifies an encoded RGB value. To verify if the value is a byte-encoded RGB value, use theM_IS_RGB888 macro. To retrieve the R, G, and B bands, use the M_RGB888_R, M_RGB888_G, and M_RGB888_B macros.

M_OPACITY​

Inquires the opacity with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_OPACITY)

M_THICKNESS​

Inquires the thickness with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_THICKNESS)

M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_APPEARANCE​

Inquires whether to draw the volume element(s) as a surface or volume.

ValueDescription
(see M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_APPEARANCE)

M_DRAW_VOLUME_NEGATIVE_ELEMENTS​

Inquires whether and how to draw the volume elements that contributed negatively to the volume computation; these elements decreased the volume.

M_ACTIVE​

Inquires whether to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_ACTIVE)

M_APPEARANCE​

Inquires whether to draw the graphic(s) as a solid surface, wireframe, or points.

ValueDescription
(see M_APPEARANCE)

M_COLOR​

Inquires the color with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_COLOR)
Byte-encoded RGB valueSpecifies an encoded RGB value. To verify if the value is a byte-encoded RGB value, use theM_IS_RGB888 macro. To retrieve the R, G, and B bands, use the M_RGB888_R, M_RGB888_G, and M_RGB888_B macros.

M_OPACITY​

Inquires the opacity with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_OPACITY)

M_THICKNESS​

Inquires the thickness with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_THICKNESS)

M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_APPEARANCE​

Inquires whether to draw the volume element(s) as a surface or volume.

ValueDescription
(see M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_APPEARANCE)

M_DRAW_VOLUME_POSITIVE_ELEMENTS​

Inquires wwhether and how to draw the volume elements that contributed positively to the volume computation; these elements increased the volume.

M_ACTIVE​

inquires whether to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_ACTIVE)

M_APPEARANCE​

Inquires whether to draw the graphic(s) as a solid surface, wireframe, or points.

ValueDescription
(see M_APPEARANCE)

M_COLOR​

Inquires the color with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_COLOR)
Byte-encoded RGB valueSpecifies an encoded RGB value. To verify if the value is a byte-encoded RGB value, use theM_IS_RGB888 macro. To retrieve the R, G, and B bands, use the M_RGB888_R, M_RGB888_G, and M_RGB888_B macros.

M_OPACITY​

Inquires the opacity with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_OPACITY)

M_THICKNESS​

inquires the thickness with which to draw the graphic(s).

ValueDescription
(see M_THICKNESS)

M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_APPEARANCE​

Inquires whether to draw the volume element(s) as a surface or volume.

ValueDescription
(see M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_APPEARANCE)

M_GLOBAL_DRAW_SETTINGS​

Inquires a global draw 3D metrology context setting.

M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_INDEX​

Inquires the index of the volume element to draw.

ValueDescription
(see M_VOLUME_ELEMENT_INDEX)

Combination Constants — For inquiring about the default value​

Optional.

Usage: You can add one of the following values to the above-mentioned values to get information about the default value of an inquire type, regardless of the current value of the inquire type.

M_DEFAULT​

Inquires the default value of the specified inquire type.

M_IS_SET_TO_DEFAULT​

Inquires whether the specified inquire type is set to its default value.

ValueDescription
M_FALSESpecifies that the inquire type is not set to its default value.
