Function

Operate on a scene background color.

Functional Details

`DXSetBackgroundColor` sets a scene background color for use at render time. `DXRender` applies `background` to all pixels at the start of rendering so that unobscured pixels will have this color in the final image. The unset default background color is black, {0,0,0}.

`DXGetBackgroundColor` returns the value of the camera background color in `*background`. `DXRender` initializes the output image to this color when using camera `c`.
