A reference to the style object to be unloaded from memory.

DESCRIPTION

The GXUnloadStyle function moves a style object from the active graphics client heap to disk storage. When you or QuickDraw GX use the GXUnloadStyle function to unload a style object from memory to disk storage, QuickDraw GX stores its location in a 4-byte stub in the active graphics client heap. When you use the GXLoadStyle function to reload the object from disk storage to memory, QuickDraw GX uses the stub to find the stored style object.
