Info/Types [ Modules ]
PURPOSE
Explains Types used across this documentation. Usually Types used have self-descriptive names and are the same as used in for example 'C'. However there are some which differ subtly in meaning or are specific to POVRay. Only POVRay's default Types are used as POVRay doesn't have syntax for type definition, not counting for arrays of course :P
