| interface | INSCRayTrace |
Interfaces and methods for running a non-sequential ray trace. This interface can be accessed via the IOpticalSystemTools interface. NOTE - due to architectural limitations, currently only one INSCRayTrace instance can be used at a time, across all IOpticalSystem instances. The first call to IOpticalSystemTools.OpenNSCRayTrace will succeed, while all further calls will return null until the the single INSCRayTrace instance is closed. It is anticipated that this limiation will be removed in future versions of the API. More... | |
