Representation of a 3D light source.
lightRGB colored light from the local origin (posx, posy, posz) along the direction vector ( dirx, diry, dirz). The light is projected parallel to the direction vector from a point or circle source. (See figure below!) It has its maximum intensity within the alpha-angle frustum of a cone and falls to zero at the beta-angle frustum of a cone. This falloff is controlled by the afall parameter. (Zero gives the light a sharp edge, higher values mean that the transition is smoother.) The effect of the light is limited along the axis by the dist1 and dist2 clipping values. The dfall parameter controls the decrease in intensity depending on the distance. (Zero value means a constant intensity, bigger values are used for stronger falloff.) The type of light source can be one of the @ref API_LghtSouID members. The status must be APILight_CastShadow if you want Archicad to calculate shadow casting from this light source, or else set it zero.
