typedef SI32 PDF_CALL TOnUpdateWindow(const void* Data, TIntRect Area);
The function renders a PDF page into an image buffer. This function was mainly designed to render
PDF pages in a viewer application but it can also be used for other purposes where fast rendering
into an image buffer is required. It is also possible to render pages into a device context, see
RenderPageEx() for further information.
Before rendering the first page the application should set the path from which external CMaps can
be loaded (see SetCMapDir()). Set the path with the flag lcmDelayed so that the files will only be
loaded if necessary.
It is also strongly recommended to initialize color management before rendering the first page (see
InitColorManagement()) and to set the screen resolution (see SetScreenRes()). The output intent (if
any) is loaded automatically before the page will be rendered if color management is enabled.
Minimal initialization
A few members of the the structure TPDFRasterImage must be correctly initialized, otherwise
nothing can be rendered:
TPDFRasterImage img;
memset(&img, 0, sizeof(img));
img.StructSize = sizeof(img);
img.Matrix.a
= 1.0; // Identity matrix
