Light Property Page - Template Creator
The light property page is available for the area element (background) as well as pie slices. Please note that setting light parameters for one chart element will change the light settings for the entire pie chart.
To display this property page either double-click on the background or pie slice or alternatively right-click over the background or a pie element and select 'Properties'.
The following is a description of what you can do via this property page:
|
Directional Sphere |
Use this item to set the direction that the
light will strike your pie chart. You can either use the red directional
arrows or alternatively you can left-click, hold the button down and move
the directional sphere in the desired direction. |
|
Light Disabled |
Disable all lighting effects. |
|
Rotation Step |
Sets the increment by which the light direction
will change (e.g. how quickly the red ball will rotate). |
|
Light Parameters: |
|
|
Ambient |
Change the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values of
the ambient (non-directional) light. |
|
Diffuse |
Change the RGB values of the diffuse light.
Diffuse light is reflected, and its intensity varies depending on the
angle between the pixel's normal vector and the direction of the light
source. |
|
Specular |
Change the RGB values of the specular light. Specular light is also reflected, but its intensity varies with the angle between the viewer and the direction of the reflected light. |
