Sun Properties |
The Sun type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Accuracy | Accuracy. |
| Altitude |
The sun's altitude above the horizon in degrees in the range -90 to +90.
Setting this value will also set the sun to manual control mode.
|
| Azimuth |
The sun's azimuth in degrees. The value increases Eastwards with North as zero.
Setting this value will also set the sun to manual control mode.
Note: This value is not affected by the direction of north.
|
| DaylightSaving | Obsolete. |
| DaylightSavingMinutes | Daylight saving time in minutes |
| DaylightSavingOn | Daylight saving time 'on' state |
| Enabled | Turn the sun on/off in this document. |
| Hash |
Get a hash of the sun state.
|
| Intensity |
Sun intensity.
|
| Latitude |
The observer's latitude.
|
| Light |
Get a Light which represents the sun. If manual control is in effect, no sun calculation
is performed; the function uses the last known values of azimuth and altitude.
If manual control is not in effect, the observer's position, date, time, time zone and
daylight saving values are used to calculate the position of the sun.
|
| Longitude |
The observer's longitude.
|
| ManualControl | Obsolete. |
| ManualControlOn | Manual control 'on' state. When true, allows the user to set the sun
azimuth and altitude directly. When false, the values are computed. |
| North |
Angle in degrees on world X-Y plane that should be considered north in the model.
The angle is measured starting at the x-axis and increases anti-clockwise. The y-axis
corresponds to a 'north' angle of 90 degrees.
|
| SkylightOn | Obsolete. Turn skylight on or off. |
| TimeZone |
The observer's time zone measured in hours relative to UTC.

| Vector |
