Gestalt Fast Features Response Masks

When you pass the kQAGestalt_FastFeatures selector to the QAEngineGestalt function, QAEngineGestalt returns (through its response parameter) a value that indicates which, if any, features supported by a drawing engine are accelerated. You can use these masks to test that value for a specific feature. The bits corresponding to accelerated features are ORed together to determine the returned value.

Note

A feature is considered accelerated if it is performed substantially faster by the drawing engine than it would be if performed in software only.

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates Gouraud shading.

kQAFast_Texture

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates texture mapping.

kQAFast_TextureHQ

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates high-quality texture mapping.

kQAFast_Blend

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates transparency blending.

kQAFast_Antialiasing

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates antialiasing.

kQAFast_ZSorted

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates z sorted rendering.

kQAFast_CL4

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates kQAPixel_CL4 pixel type rendering.

kQAFast_CL8

This bit is set if the drawing engine accelerates kQAPixel_CL8 pixel type rendering.
