Detailed Description

Represents a light source.

Creation of lights is not supported yet.

Created in NX4.0.0.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NXOpen::Light::SceneType

The predefined scene lights used in Basic Lights.

These are subtypes of LightTypeScene . Except for ambient light, all of the other lights are on the same side of the model as the observer.

Enumerator:

SceneTypeAmbient	Light from all around the model.
SceneTypeLeftTop	Light from the top left of the view.
SceneTypeTop	Light from the top center of the view.
SceneTypeRightTop	Light from the top right of the view.
SceneTypeFront	Light from the front of the view (at the observer's location.
SceneTypeLeftBottom	Light from the bottom left of the view.
SceneTypeBottom	Light from the bottom center of the view.
SceneTypeRightBottom	Light from the bottom right of the view.

Member Function Documentation

bool NXOpen::Light::GetEnabledInView

(

NXOpen::View *

view

)

Whether a light is enabled in a given view.

true means the light is on, false means the light is off.

Returns

true: the light is on, false: off
Created in NX4.0.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

view	The view to check

void NXOpen::Light::GetLightType	(	NXOpen::LightType *	lightType,
		NXOpen::Light::SceneType *	sceneLightType
	)

Get the type of a light.

If the light is a scene light, the specific type of scene light is also returned. It the light is not a scene light, the scene_light_type output is undefined.
Created in NX4.0.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

lightType	the type of light
sceneLightType	is light_type is ...scene, this is the specific type of scene light

double NXOpen::Light::Intensity

(

)

Returns the intensity of a light.

Intensity is normally in the range of 0.0 (fully off) to 1.0 (fully on), except that for lights other than scene lights, the intensity may be greater than 1.0.
Note that even if the light is not displayed in any view, the intensity may still be greater than 0.0, as this intensity will be used the next time the light is turned on.

For now, setting Light::SetIntensity may only be used for a scene light.

Created in NX4.0.0.

License requirements : None

void NXOpen::Light::SetEnabledInView	(	NXOpen::View *	view,
		bool	onOrOff
	)

Whether a light is to be enabled in a given view.

true means to turn the light on, false is to turn it off. For now, the light must be of type LightTypeScene .
Created in NX4.0.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

view	The view to turn the light on or off in
onOrOff	true for on, false for off

void NXOpen::Light::SetIntensity

(

double

intensity

)

Sets the intensity of a light.

Intensity is normally in the range of 0.0 (fully off) to 1.0 (fully on), except that for lights other than scene lights, the intensity may be greater than 1.0.
Note that even if the light is not displayed in any view, the intensity may still be greater than 0.0, as this intensity will be used the next time the light is turned on.

For now, setting Light::SetIntensity may only be used for a scene light.

Created in NX4.0.0.

License requirements : None

Parameters

intensity
