General functionality for all renderers.

A renderer is what makes an object appear on the screen. For any game object or component its renderer can be accessed trough a renderer property:

// make the object invisible!
renderer.enabled = false;

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        renderer.enabled = false;
    }
}

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

public class Example(MonoBehaviour):

	def Example() as void:
		renderer.enabled = false

Use this class to access the renderer of any object, mesh or particle system. Renderers can be disabled to make objects invisible (see enabled), and the materials can be accessed and modified through them (see material).
