class mrpt::viz::CLight

Python API: mrpt.viz.CLight

Overview

A light source (directional, point or spot) placed in the scene graph.

Unlike the lights in Viewport::lightParameters(), which are given in world coordinates, the position and direction of this light are relative to the pose of this object, composed with the poses of its parent containers. For example, a headlight inserted into the CSetOfObjects of a vehicle moves with it.

The light is switched on and off with setVisibility(), and it is also off while any of its parent containers is hidden. Scaling the object (or its parents) does not change TLight::range.

Lights of all visible CLight objects in a viewport are appended to that viewport’s own lights. If there are more than MAX_LIGHTS in total, the renderer keeps all directional lights, then the point/spot lights closest to the camera.

The object itself is not drawn: insert any 3D model (e.g. with an emissive material) as a sibling to show the lamp.
