addCone Method

Adds a cone light to the light filter effect object to cast a directional light on the page.

Syntax

object.filters.light.addCone(iX1, iY1, iZ1, iX2, iY2, iRed, iGreen, iBlue, 
    iStrength, iSpread)

Parameters

iX1	Required. Integer that specifies the left coordinate of the light source.
iY1	Required. Integer that specifies the top coordinate of the light source.
iZ1	Required. Integer that specifies the z-axis level of the light source.
iX2	Required. Integer that specifies the left coordinate of the target light focus.
iY2	Required. Integer that specifies the top coordinate of the target light focus.
iRed	Required. Integer that specifies the red value, ranging from 0 (lowest saturation) to 255 (highest saturation).
iGreen	Required. Integer that specifies the green value, ranging from 0 (lowest saturation) to 255 (highest saturation).
iBlue	Required. Integer that specifies the blue value, ranging from 0 (lowest saturation) to 255 (highest saturation).
iStrength	Required. Integer that specifies the intensity of the light filter, with values ranging from 0 (lowest intensity) to 100 (highest intensity).
iSpread	Required. Integer that specifies the angle, or spread, between the vertical position of the light source and the surface of the visual object. The spread can be from 0 to 90 degrees. Smaller spread values produce a smaller-shaped cone of light; larger spread values produce an oblique oval or circle of light.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

The cone light fades with distance from the target x,y position. The light displays a hard edge at the near edge of its focus and fades gradually as it reaches its distance threshold.
