# Blender.World module and the World PyType 

"""
The Blender.World submodule

B{New}: scriptLink methods: L{World.getScriptLinks}, ...

INTRODUCTION
============

The module world allows you to access all the data of a Blender World.

Example::
  import Blender
  w = Blender.Get('World') #assume there exists a world named "world"
  print w.getName()
  w.hor = [1,1,.2]
  print w.getHor()

Example::
  import Blender
  from Blender import *

  AllWorlds = Blender.World.Get()  # returns a list of created world obejcts
  AvailWorlds = len(AllWorlds)	#	returns the number of available world objects
  PropWorld = dir(AllWorlds[0])	# returns the properties of the class world
  NameWorld = AllWorlds[0].getName() # get name of the first world object

  MiType = AllWorlds[0].getMistype()	# get kind of mist from the first world object
  MiParam = AllWorlds[0].getMist()	# get the parameters intensity, start, end and height of the mist

  HorColor = AllWorlds[0].getHor()	# horizon color of the first world object
  HorColorR = HorColor[0]		# get the red channel (RGB) of the horizon color

  ZenColor = AllWorlds[0].getZen()	# zenit color of the first world object
  ZenColorB = ZenColor[2]		# get the blue channel (RGB) of the Zenit color

  blending = AllWorlds[0].getSkytype() # get the blending modes (real, blend, paper) of the first world object
