Class Light.Distant

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.effect.Light
javafx.scene.effect.Light.Distant
Enclosing class:
Light
public static class Light.Distant extends Light
Represents a distant light source.

Example: 

Light.Distant light = new Light.Distant();
light.setAzimuth(45.0);
light.setElevation(30.0);

Lighting lighting = new Lighting();
lighting.setLight(light);
lighting.setSurfaceScale(5.0);

Text text = new Text();
text.setText("Distant");
text.setFill(Color.STEELBLUE);
text.setFont(Font.font("null", FontWeight.BOLD, 80));
text.setX(10.0f);
text.setY(10.0f);
text.setTextOrigin(VPos.TOP);
text.setEffect(lighting);

Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(300,150);
rect.setFill(Color.ALICEBLUE);
rect.setEffect(lighting);

The code above produces the following:
