This document is mostly autogenerated from Doxygen tags in the source

code. While this is the only way of creating documentation that
-
 
118
stands a reasonable chance of being updated every time the code is,
-
 
119
the method does have some drawbacks.

120

121
If you want to know whether a given class contains a given function,
-
 
122
first look at the class. If you don't find the function, look at its
-
 
123
ancestors. For instance, the class Vec3f certainly has a += operator
-
 
124
function but it is defined in the template class ArithVec. 
-
 
125

126
Another problem is that since templates are used extensively in CGLA,
-
 
127
template syntax clutters this document. Unfortunately, that cannot be
