# dtk\_draw\_shape(3)

Draw a shape in the window

## NAME

dtk\_draw\_shape - Draw a shape in the window

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<drawtk.h\>**

**void dtk\_draw\_shape(const dtk\_hshape** *shp***);**\

## DESCRIPTION

**dtk\_draw\_shape**() draw the shape referenced by *shp* in the current window. The position of the drawing depends on the rotation and translation previously set by **dtk\_\*move\_shape**() and **dtk\_\*rotate\_shape**() (the rotation is first applied to the shape and then the translation).

This function assumes there is a valid OpenGL rendering context in the calling thread. So a successfull call to **dtk\_make\_current\_window**() should have been performed previously in the **current** thread.

## RETURN VALUE

None.
