pygfx.materials

Containers for Material data.

Materials define how a WorldObject is rendered. Many objects support multiple different materials, e.g. the materials that can be applied to a Mesh object mostly determine how the object is affected by lighs. Further, the materials have properties to influence the rendering, like colors, line thickness, colormaps, the strength of specular reflections, etc.
