Class Light.Spot

  • Enclosing class:
    Light

    public static class Light.Spot
    extends Light.Point
    Represents a spot light source at a given position in 3D space, with configurable direction and focus.

    Example:

    
     Light.Spot light = new Light.Spot();
     light.setX(150);
     light.setY(100);
     light.setZ(80);
     light.setPointsAtX(0);
     light.setPointsAtY(0);
     light.setPointsAtZ(-50);
     light.setSpecularExponent(2);
    
     Lighting lighting = new Lighting();
     lighting.setLight(light);
     lighting.setSurfaceScale(5.0);
    
     Text text = new Text();
     text.setText("Spot");
     text.setFill(Color.STEELBLUE);
     text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 80));
     text.setX(10.0);
     text.setY(10.0);
     text.setTextOrigin(VPos.TOP);
     text.setEffect(lighting);
    
     Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(200, 150);
     rect.setFill(Color.ALICEBLUE);
     rect.setEffect(lighting);
     

    The code above produces the following:
