### QPx_GetAreaImporter

QPx_GetAreaImporter(areaRef; importerRef):error
| areaRef | Longint | QPix area reference
| importerRef | Longint | Reference to the importer used by the area
| error | Longint | Error result

Returns a reference to the graphic importer instance used internally by a QPix plug-in area.

This is a low-level command. It gives access to the area characteristics and data through the QPix Graphics Importer API. If you modify the importer's drawing characteristics, you must call QPx_RedrawArea(area;qpx_UpdateBuffers) for changes to be reflected in the QPix plug-in area.

The plug-in area is referenced by areaRef. If areaRef is not a valid QPix plug-in area reference or if it is not currently using a graphics importer instance, qpx_paramErr error is returned.

Example

``Get the area importer` `` `C_LONGINT($error)` `C_LONGINT($areaImporter)` `` `$error:=QPx_GetAreaImporter (gQPixArea;$areaImporter)` `` `If ($error=qpx_noErr)` `` ``$areaImporter is the importer used internally by gQPixArea` `` `End if`
