As mentioned earlier, each Power Engine has its own internal instance of D-Type Standard Engine. The pdEngineGetDTEngineInst function allows applications to get the handle of this instance.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
engine |
Handle of the previously created Power Engine instance. |
dt_engine |
Pointer to the handle of the D-Type Standard Engine instance. |
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.
All D-Type Standard Engine functions. Please see D-Type Standard Engine Manual for more information.
