\section*{What is this?}

This is the complete A\+PI reference for \href{https://www.ogre3d.org}{\tt {\bfseries O\+G\+RE}} ({\bfseries O}bject-\/\+Oriented {\bfseries G}raphics {\bfseries R}endering {\bfseries E}ngine). Contained within are the specifications for each namespace/module/class and the methods from those which you can refer to when writing code which uses O\+G\+RE.

The A\+PI references for some of the previous O\+G\+RE versions can be found under the following link\+: \href{https://www.ogre3d.org/docs/api/X.Y}{\tt www.\+ogre3d.\+org/docs/api/X.Y} (replace X.\+Y with the version number, for example 1.\+7, 1.\+8, etc.).

\section*{It\textquotesingle{}s so B\+I\+G!}

Yes it is (and thank you for noticing). O\+G\+RE is a large and complex system so the A\+PI documentation, whilst fully inclusive and the most complete reference to O\+G\+RE that you\textquotesingle{}ll find, is not the recommended way to start learning. You will certainly want to refer to this documentation once you have found your feet, and pretty soon referring to it will become second nature. Until then, you should begin with more \char`\"{}discussive\char`\"{} documentation such as\+:


\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item \hyperlink{manual}{The Manual}\+: The O\+G\+RE manual is a general introduction to the O\+G\+RE principles and core components, and a reference to various important parts of the O\+G\+RE system, especially the script syntax for materials, particle systems, and overlays.
\item \hyperlink{tutorials}{The O\+G\+RE Tutorials}\+: This is a gold mine for new and experienced users alike.
\end{DoxyItemize}

We make an effort to document our classes fully so we hope you can find what you need here. However, if you can\textquotesingle{}t find it, or you\textquotesingle{}re not sure where to start looking, visit the \href{https://www.ogre3d.org}{\tt main O\+G\+RE website} and dip into the \href{https://www.ogre3d.org/support}{\tt community areas} like the \href{https://wiki.ogre3d.org}{\tt wiki} and the \href{https://forums.ogre3d.org/}{\tt forums} to get some assistance.
