# dwFlags

Flags associated with an effect.

## Declaration

```swift
var dwFlags: DWORD
```

## Discussion

Discussion This value can be a combination of one or more of the following values: FFEFF_CARTESIAN The values of rglDirection are to be interpreted as Cartesian coordinates. FFEFF_OBJECTOFFSETS The values of dwTriggerButton and rgdwAxes are data format offsets, FFJOFS_* constants. This flag is not necessary, as the format is assumed. The OBJECTIDS method of specifying dwTriggerButton and rgdwAxes is not supported – FFJOFS_* constants MUST be used. FFEFF_POLAR The values of rglDirection are to be interpreted as polar coordinates. FFEFF_SPHERICAL The values of rglDirection are to be interpreted as spherical coordinates.
