RayTraceDepth Property (IPwOptions)

Gets or sets the number of times PhotoWorks can subdivide a scene into simple objects for ray trace calculations.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Property RayTraceDepth As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IPwOptions
Dim value As Integer
 
instance.RayTraceDepth = value
 
value = instance.RayTraceDepth
C# 
int RayTraceDepth {get; set;}
C++/CLI 
property int RayTraceDepth {
   int get();
   void set (int value);
}

Return Value

Number of times PhotoWorks can subdivide a scene into simple objects for ray trace calculations

Example

Remarks

A smaller ray trace depth value increases rendering time but decreases memory usage. The rendering time increases because PhotoWorks needs to test the intersection of light rays with more complex objects. Memory usage decreases because PhotoWorks creates fewer objects.

 

IPwOptions::EnableRayTraceDepthSettings must be true for this property to have an effect.

 

You can use IPwOptions::RayTraceDepthMinimum and IPwOptions::RayTraceDepthMaximum to find out the valid range of values you can specify for this property.
