Description

Places distant lights for use with renderings. Distant lights represent sources that are far off, such as the sun, and so does not display a glyph in drawings.

Note: having DEFAULTLIGHTING=1 will open a dialog box where you are asked.

Options

Name

Toggles the light on and off
Photometry
Specifies the parameters for color and intensity.

filterColor
Sets the color of the light.
Vector
The direction of the light beams can be defined by a vector, whose XYZ tuple determines the direction of the light, starting at infinity. The default direction points up, in the Z direction.

Unlike regular vectors, this lighting vector specifies only direction, not magnitude.
