2.7 Include Files

The "Standard Include File" section describes the include files that can be found in every standard distribution of POV-Ray. It is supposed to be used as a reference for looking up things. It does not contain detailed explanations on how scenes are written or how POV-Ray is used. It just explains all features, their syntax, applications, limits, drawbacks, etc.
