Detailed Description

Abstract base class for all VRML97 light nodes.

SoVRMLLight 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 transform does not affect any object outside that transform.

NOTE: This class does not exist in Open Inventor 10.0 and later.
