Hi
Can anyone tell me how to change the display mode in the display tag into isoparm.
I have a code:
   BaseTag *tag = BaseTag::Alloc(Tdisplay);
   BaseContainer *con = tag->GetDataInstance();

   ObjGrid->InsertTag(tag, NULL);
If i do like this, the display mode will be set to default as Gouraud Shading
Thanks and regards

Please have a look in the Tdisplay.res file. (It's within your C4D directory somewhere; search for it!) There you'll find all the container values for the display tag. (Also have a look in the Tdisplay.h file for some additional constants.)

Hi all
I have gone through the samples about this. Now I include the Tdisplay.h in my cpp file
   PluginTag *tag = PluginTag::Alloc(Tdisplay);
   tag->GetData().GetLong(DISPLAYTAG_DISPLAYMODE_ISOPARMS, 3);
   ObjGrid->InsertTag(tag, NULL);
But i still could not the display mode as isoparm. Can anyone tell me what's the problem of this?
Thanks and regards

You don't need to include Tdisplay.h since it's already included by c4d.h.
GetData() returns a temporary. Use GetDataInstance() if you want to modify the returned container directly.

Thanks for the reply, now i have modified into this
   BaseObject *ObjGrid = BaseObject::Alloc(Oplane);
PluginTag *tag = PluginTag::Alloc(Tdisplay);
   BaseContainer *con = tag->GetDataInstance();

It seems that Tdisplay is one of those tags for which GetDataInstance() doesn't work. (I think it's because it doesn't use a container internally.)
This code seems to work:

    
    
    BaseObject *Obj = BaseObject::Alloc(Oplane);
    
    
    
    
    PluginTag *tag = PluginTag::Alloc(Tdisplay);  
    BaseContainer con;  
    con.SetLong(DISPLAYTAG_DISPLAYMODE, DISPLAYTAG_DISPLAYMODE_ISOPARMS);  
    con.SetLong(DISPLAYTAG_AFFECT_DISPLAYMODE, TRUE);  
    tag->SetData(con);  
    Obj ->InsertTag(tag, NULL);
    
    
    
    
    doc->InsertObject(Obj, NULL, NULL);  
    EventAdd();

Also, please note that DISPLAYTAG_DISPLAYMODE is the ID and is the value DISPLAYTAG_DISPLAYMODE_ISOPARMS=3.

Ok thanks Mikael, It is working very fine. It is because the getdatainstance does not work
