API reference

Overview

This reference is generated from Mitsuba’s type stubs, which ship inside the mitsuba wheel. It therefore describes the Python API exactly as a type checker or an editor sees it: real signatures, generic drjit.auto types rather than whichever backend a particular build used, and one entry per overload.

Mitsuba’s bindings mirror the C++ API closely, so this should be useful to a C++ developer as well. Where the two differ – a C++ out-parameter that the binding returns instead, or a template parameter that has no Python counterpart – the Python behaviour is what is documented here.
