<<prev | top | next>> |
## Quick Reference: Functions and Classes The following PDF reference sheets contain the most important panda functions in a single-page printable format. Quick Reference Sheet BVW Quick Reference Sheet ## Comprehensive API Reference Manual The following link will direct you to the API Reference manual. Note that while the reference is comprehensive, it is merely that: a reference. It does not make any attempt to explain concepts. API Reference As a general rule, it is best to search for the information you need in the Programming with Panda section, then, if you can't find what you need, dig down into the API reference manual. ## Obtaining your own Copy of the Manual It is now possible to download your own copy of the manual from our software downloads page. However, the manual is updated daily, whereas the downloads page contains a snapshot taken on the day that the panda version was released. To obtain a more recent version of the manual, you will need a web-spider program called "wget." This tool is included with most versions of Linux, but you need to download it separately to use it under windows. To fetch the manual, use this command:
wget --restrict-file-names=windows -r -k -nd -E -Iwiki/index.php,wiki/images,nimages,stylesheets http://panda3d.org/wiki/index.php/
Once you have a copy of the manual, you may wish to rename the following file:
copy Main_Page.1.html index.html
## Regenerating the API reference Manual If you have compiled your own copy of the panda source code, you can regenerate the API reference manual. You can do so with the following commands:
makepanda\makedocs.bat
Or, under Linux:
makepanda/makedocs.py
The resulting manual will be found in the subdirectory "reference."
