SelectRenderer

Rendering and printing

Description

Select the renderer to use during rendering. By default the GDI+ rendering engine is used.

GDI+ and Cairo render PDF shading types 1 and 4-7, including function-based, Gouraud triangle, Coons patch, and tensor-product patch shadings, with source-space colour interpolation, BBox clipping, Background fills, and transparency.

If Cairo is used, the SetCairoFileName function should be used to set the path to the Cairo DLL.
