Class Light.Distant

  • Enclosing class:
    Light
    public static class Light.Distant
extends Light
    Represents a distant light source.

    Example: 

    
 Light.Distant light = new Light.Distant();
 light.setAzimuth(45.0);
 light.setElevation(30.0);

 Lighting lighting = new Lighting();
 lighting.setLight(light);
 lighting.setSurfaceScale(5.0);

 Text text = new Text();
 text.setText("Distant");
 text.setFill(Color.STEELBLUE);
 text.setFont(Font.font("null", FontWeight.BOLD, 80));
 text.setX(10.0f);
 text.setY(10.0f);
 text.setTextOrigin(VPos.TOP);
 text.setEffect(lighting);

 Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(300,150);
 rect.setFill(Color.ALICEBLUE);
 rect.setEffect(lighting);

    The code above produces the following:

    • Property Detail

      • azimuth

        public final DoubleProperty azimuthProperty
        The azimuth of the light. The azimuth is the direction angle for the light source on the XY plane, in degrees. 
               Min:  n/a
       Max:  n/a
   Default: 45.0
  Identity:  n/a
        Default value:
        45.0

        getAzimuth(), setAzimuth(double)

      • elevation

        public final DoubleProperty elevationProperty
        The elevation of the light. The elevation is the direction angle for the light source on the YZ plane, in degrees. 
               Min:  n/a
       Max:  n/a
   Default: 45.0
