List Of Structures

Complex data types, so-called structures, consist of different elements. The elements of a structure are accessed by their names in the following way: nameOfVariable.nameOfElement. For example, col.r, if col is a variable of data type color. The following table is an overview of the structures MADRIX Script provides.
