	out SbVec3s size,
	out int nc
)

Public Function StartEditing ( 
	<OutAttribute> ByRef size As SbVec3s,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef nc As Integer
) As SbNativeArray(Of Byte)

public:
SbNativeArray<unsigned char>^ StartEditing(
	[OutAttribute] SbVec3s% size, 
	[OutAttribute] int% nc
)

member StartEditing : 
        size : SbVec3s byref * 
        nc : int byref -> SbNativeArray<byte> 

Parameters

size

Type: OIV.InventorSbVec3s

nc

Type: SystemInt32

Return Value

OIV.Inventor.Fields.SoSFImage3.StartEditing(OIV.Inventor.SbVec3i32@, System.Int32@, OIV.Inventor.Fields.SoSFImage.DataTypes@) returns the size of the image in the size and nc arguments; writing past the end of the array returned is a good way to cause hard-to-find core dumps.

Calling this method is the same as doing a call to setSubValues on the whole texture. The getSubTexture will return one more updated regions when called after finishEditing.

Avoid copying the values in/out, if you are just changing the bytes and not changing the dimensions of the image.Using OIV.Inventor.Fields.SoSFImage3.StartEditing(OIV.Inventor.SbVec3i32@, System.Int32@, OIV.Inventor.Fields.SoSFImage.DataTypes@) allows subtexturing, which is a more efficient way of doing texture modification. This is a convenience method for the unsigned char datatype.
