Return Value

Implements

This method initiates the rendering process but does not store the resulting image in any buffer or file. It is useful for scenarios where only the rendering process is required, such as for benchmarking or updating the internal state of the scene without needing to keep the rendered output.

Unlike OIV.Inventor.SoOffscreenRenderArea.RenderToFile(System.String, OIV.Inventor.SoOffscreenRenderArea.OutputFormats), which saves the rendered image to a provided buffer object, or OIV.Inventor.SoOffscreenRenderArea.RenderToBuffer(OIV.Inventor.Devices.SoBufferObject, OIV.Inventor.SoOffscreenRenderArea.OutputFormats), which writes the rendered image directly to a file, this method does not retain the rendered image in any form.
