Synopsis

#include "silver.h"

 

The paint_begin function tells the CAD engine that drawing activity is about to begin. The use of this function is not required, but its' use can both speed up multi-step drawing and reduce flicker by batching activity into one presentation when possible. This function also hides the 3D cursor.

 

 

Parameters

None.

 

 

Return Value

None.

 

 

Comments

paint_begin must be paired with a call to paint_end after finishing drawing activity. The screen will then be presented and the cursor restored. Calls to paint_begin and paint_end should not be nested.
