 Color color)

Method Details

getAzimuth

public double getAzimuth()

Returns:

the DistantLight's azimuth

getElevation

public double getElevation()

Returns:

the DistantLight's elevation

isConstant

public boolean isConstant()

Specified by:

isConstant in interface Light

Overrides:

isConstant in class AbstractLight

Returns:

true if the light is constant over the whole surface

getLight

public void getLight(double x,
 double y,
 double z,
 double[] L)

Computes the light vector in (x, y)

Parameters:

x - x-axis coordinate where the light should be computed

y - y-axis coordinate where the light should be computed

z - z-axis coordinate where the light should be computed

L - array of length 3 where the result is stored

getLightRow

public double[][] getLightRow(double x,
 double y,
 double dx,
 int width,
 double[][] z,
 double[][] lightRow)

Returns a row of the light map, starting at (x, y) with dx increments, a given width, and z elevations stored in the fourth component on the N array.

Specified by:

getLightRow in interface Light

Overrides:

getLightRow in class AbstractLight

Parameters:

x - x-axis coordinate where the light should be computed

y - y-axis coordinate where the light should be computed

dx - delta x for computing light vectors in user space

width - number of samples to compute on the x axis

z - array containing the z elevation for all the points

lightRow - array to store the light info to, if null it will be allocated for you and returned.

Returns:

an array width columns where each element is an array of three components representing the x, y and z components of the light vector.
