Detailed Description

a virtual light for 3D rendering

vtkLight is a virtual light for 3D rendering. It provides methods to locate and point the light, turn it on and off, and set its brightness and color. In addition to the basic infinite distance point light source attributes, you also can specify the light attenuation values and cone angle. These attributes are only used if the light is a positional light. The default is a directional light (e.g. infinite point light source).

Lights have a type that describes how the light should move with respect to the camera. A Headlight is always located at the current camera position and shines on the camera's focal point. A CameraLight also moves with the camera, but may not be coincident to it. CameraLights are defined in a normalized coordinate space where the camera is located at (0, 0, 1), the camera is looking at (0, 0, 0), and up is (0, 1, 0). Finally, a SceneLight is part of the scene itself and does not move with the camera. (Renderers are responsible for moving the light based on its type.)

Lights have a transformation matrix that describes the space in which they are positioned. A light's world space position and focal point are defined by their local position and focal point, transformed by their transformation matrix (if it exists).

◆ New()

static vtkLight * vtkLight::New ( )
static

Create a light with the focal point at the origin and its position set to (0,0,1).

Create a new light object with the same light parameters than the current object (any ivar from the superclasses (vtkObject and vtkObjectBase), like reference counting, timestamp and observers are not copied).

This is a shallow clone (TransformMatrix is referenced)

◆ Render()

virtual void vtkLight::Render ( vtkRenderer ,
int

inlinevirtual

Abstract interface to renderer.

Each concrete subclass of vtkLight will load its data into the graphics system in response to this method invocation. The actual loading is performed by a vtkLightDevice subclass, which will get created automatically.

◆ SetLightType()

virtual void vtkLight::SetLightType ( int  )
virtual

Set/Get the type of the light.

A SceneLight is a light located in the world coordinate space. A light is initially created as a scene light.

A Headlight is always located at the camera and is pointed at the camera's focal point. The renderer is free to modify the position and focal point of the camera at any time.

A CameraLight is also attached to the camera, but is not necessarily located at the camera's position. CameraLights are defined in a coordinate space where the camera is located at (0, 0, 1), looking towards (0, 0, 0) at a distance of 1, with up being (0, 1, 0). CameraLight uses the transform matrix to establish this space.

Note: All SetLightType(), and SetLightTypeTo*() calls clear the light's transform matrix.
