The render interface is a simple dialog box that controls the rendering process.

# The render interface

## The render interface.

The 'Start'/'Stop' button controls the process. You can see progression, time elapsed, and error messages above. With Povray 3.6 ( and also Megapov 1.1 ) the end of render isn't detected anymore if X display is used ( due to a change in povray output ). You have to click on display window to close it to be able to render again. The 'Options' button is a shortcut to open the render options box. The 'Console' button opens a box that display povray output ( which can be useful to debug scenes ).

Note : If render does not start you should check you provided the right path to povray ( or megapov ) in the preferences box.
