Q3Shader_GetType

You can use the Q3Shader_GetType function to get the type of a shader object.

TQ3ObjectType Q3Shader_GetType (TQ3ShaderObject shader);

shader

A shader object.

DESCRIPTION

The Q3Shader_GetType function returns, as its function result, the type of the shader object specified by the shader parameter. The types of shader objects currently supported by QuickDraw 3D are defined by these constants:

kQ3ShaderTypeSurface
kQ3ShaderTypeIllumination

If the specified shader object is invalid or is not one of these types, Q3Shader_GetType returns the value kQ3ObjectTypeInvalid.
