public class AmbientLight

extends Light

An ambient light source object. Ambient light is that light that seems to come from all directions. The AmbientLight object has the same attributes as a Light node, including color, influencing bounds, scopes, and a flag indicating whether this light source is on or off. Ambient reflections do not depend on the orientation or position of a surface. Ambient light has only an ambient reflection component. It does not have diffuse or specular reflection components.

For more information on Java 3D lighting, see the class description for Light.

Constructor Detail

AmbientLight

public AmbientLight()

Constructs and initializes an ambient light using default parameters.

AmbientLight

public AmbientLight(Color3f color)

Constructs and initializes an ambient light using the specified parameters.

Parameters:

color - the color of the light source.

AmbientLight

public AmbientLight(boolean lightOn,
                    Color3f color)

Constructs and initializes an ambient light using the specified parameters.

Parameters:

lightOn - flag indicating whether this light is on or off.

color - the color of the light source.

Method Detail

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 Node

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.
