void pdEngineGetDTEngineInst(DT_PDENGINE engine, DT_DTENGINE* dt_engine)

Parameters

ParameterDescription

engine

Handle of the previously created Power Engine instance.

dt_engine

Pointer to the handle of the D-Type Standard Engine instance.

Comments

This function is useful for applications that need to access D-Type Standard Engine (D-Type Font Engine and D-Type Shape Engine) functions directly. For example, applications that render their own custom PowerDoc objects can call pdEngineGetDTEngineInst to obtain the Standard Engine instance before rendering text or shapes using D-Type Standard Engine.
