Detailed Description

Function set for image sources.

An image source is a node that is used in render graphs, e.g. compositing graphs, shading networks. It provides access to the images produced by 3D scene renderers, or 2D image processing tasks. This class provides functionality for working with image sources, e.g. retrieving the path of rendered image source files.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
