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

color	1 1 1
location	0 0 1
