Iray API Reference

The Iray API supports the startup and configuration of the neuray library and can issue rendering calls. The Iray API includes also the Math API and the Base API. The Math API provides vector, matrix, bbox, and color classes and math functions. The Base API provides basic types, functions on them, assertions, and configurations.
