public class SpotLight
extends PointLight

The SpotLight object specifies an attenuated light source at a fixed point in space that radiates light in a specified direction from the light source. A SpotLight has the same attributes as a PointLight node, with the addition of the following:

A spot light contributes to diffuse and specular reflections, which depend on the orientation and position of an object's surface. A spot light does not contribute to ambient reflections.

                 float spreadAngle,
                 float concentration)
Constructs and initializes a SpotLight node using the specified parameters.

Parameters:
lightOn - flag indicating whether this light is on or off
color - the color of the light source
position - the position of the light in three-space
attenuation - the attenuation (constant, linear, quadratic) of the light
direction - the direction of the light

setConcentration

public void setConcentration(float concentration)
Sets spot light concentration.

Parameters:
concentration - the new concentration for spot light

Sets light direction.

Parameters:
x - the new X direction
y - the new Y direction
z - the new Z direction
Throws:
CapabilityNotSetException - if appropriate capability is not set and this object is part of live or compiled scene graph

setDirection

public void setDirection(Vector3f direction)

public void getDirection(Vector3f direction)
Gets this Light's current direction and places it in the parameter specified.

Throws:
CapabilityNotSetException - if appropriate capability is not set and this object is part of live or compiled scene graph

cloneNode

public Node cloneNode(boolean forceDuplicate)
Used to create a new instance of the node. This routine is called by cloneTree to duplicate the current node.

Overrides:
cloneNode in class PointLight
Parameters:
forceDuplicate - when set to true, causes the duplicateOnCloneTree flag to be ignored. When false, the value of each node's duplicateOnCloneTree variable determines whether NodeComponent data is duplicated or copied.
