Detailed Description

sglDirectionalLight is a subclass of sglLight, and defines light that comes from an infinite distance away in a specified direction. The direction can be set by the user by calling sglDirectionalLight::setDirection(..) with a vector in the direction that the light comes from. This direction will be defined relative to this node's coordinate system, so that any rotations that occur in the scene graph above this node will affect this direction.

The bounding sphere for this light is set to infinite by default.

Example:

   sglDirectionalLight *dlite = new sglDirectionalLight;
   dlite->setDiffuse(1.0f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f);    // reddish light
   dlite->setDirection(sglVec3f(0., 0., 1.));    // shines along -Z axis

Member Function Documentation

void sglDirectionalLight::setDirection ( const sglVec3f & dir )

Set the direction of the light. The default value is (0,0,1). Parameters: dir   Direction vector (does not need to be normalized).

void sglDirectionalLight::getDirection ( sglVec3f & dir ) const

Get the current direction vector. Parameters: dir   Reference to vector that will be set to the current direction.

virtual void sglDirectionalLight::setup ( GLenum gl_light_number ) const [virtual]

This function is called during sglCull::draw() function to issue the OpenGL light commands needed to activate this light before rendering. Parameters: gl_light_number   One of GL_LIGHT0 .. GL_LIGHT<sgl::s_max_lights-1> Reimplemented from sglLight.

virtual sglNode* sglDirectionalLight::clone ( unsigned int mode ) const [virtual]

Make a copy of the scenegraph rooted at this node. Parameters: mode   Bit masks to control the behaviour of the clone. These are OR-ed together from the mode values in sglObject::CloneModeEnum. Returns: Pointer to root of cloned scene graph. Reimplemented from sglNode.

virtual void sglDirectionalLight::printInfo ( ostream & ostrm, const char * indent_string ) const [virtual]

Output the state of this node to the specified ostream. Parameters: ostrm   the ostream to which the output is sent indent_string   the string (usually spaces) that is output at the beginning of every line of output Reimplemented from sglLight.
