Detailed Description

Standard RGBA color class with floating point elements and operations.

This class provides array-like storage for the four RGBA elements of type mi::Float32. Several functions and arithmetic operators support the work with colors.

The color class is a model of the STL container concept. It provides random access to its elements and corresponding random access iterators.
