Detailed Description

SoLight is the abstract base class for all light nodes. A light node defines an illumination source that may affect subsequent shapes in the scene graph, depending on the current lighting style. Light sources are affected by the current transformation. A light node under a separator does not affect any objects outside that separator.

You can also use a node kit to create a light; see the reference page for SoLightKit.

Action Behavior

: SoGLRenderAction
Activates this light (if so specified) during traversal. All shape nodes that come after this light in the scene graph are illuminated by this light.
