DESCRIPTION

This node defines a directional light source that illuminates along rays parallel to a given 3-dimensional vector.

FIELDS


SoSFVec3f direction

Illumination direction vector.


METHODS


SoDirectionalLight()

Creates a directional light source node with default settings.



static SoType getClassTypeId()

Returns type identifier for this class.


ACTION BEHAVIOR

SoGLRenderAction

Activates this light (if so specified) during traversal. All shape nodes that come after this light in the scene graph are illuminated by this light. The light's direction is affected by the current transformation.


FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
