DESCRIPTION¶

This node defines a point light source at a fixed 3D location. A point source illuminates equally in all directions; that is, it is omni-directional.

FIELDS¶

SoSFVec3f location

Location of the source.

METHODS¶

SoPointLight()

Creates a point 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 location is affected by the current transformation.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS¶

PointLight {


on	TRUE
intensity	1
color	1 1 1
location	0 0 1


}
