Parameters
----------
position : sequence[float], optional
The position of the light. The interpretation of the position
depends on the type of the light and whether the light has a
transformation matrix. See also the :py:attr:`position`
property.
focal_point : sequence[float], optional
The focal point of the light. The interpretation of the focal
point depends on the type of the light and whether the light
has a transformation matrix. See also the
:py:attr:`focal_point` property.
color : ColorLike, optional
The color of the light. The ambient, diffuse and specular
colors will all be set to this color on creation.
light_type : str | int, default: 'scene light'
The type of the light. If a string, one of ``'headlight'``,
``'camera light'`` or ``'scene light'``. If an int, one of 1,
2 or 3, respectively. The class constants ``Light.HEADLIGHT``,
``Light.CAMERA_LIGHT`` and ``Light.SCENE_LIGHT`` are also
available, respectively.
- A headlight is attached to the camera, looking at its
focal point along the axis of the camera.
- A camera light also moves with the camera, but it can
occupy a general position with respect to it.
- A scene light is stationary with respect to the scene,
as it does not follow the camera. This is the default.
intensity : float, optional
The brightness of the light (between 0 and 1).
positional : bool, optional
Set if the light is positional.
The default is a directional light, i.e. an infinitely distant
point source. A positional light with a cone angle of at least
90 degrees acts like a spherical point source. A positional
light with a cone angle that is less than 90 degrees is known
as a spotlight.
cone_angle : float, optional
Cone angle of a positional light in degrees.
show_actor : bool, default: False
Show an actor for a spotlight that depicts the geometry of the
beam.
exponent : float, optional
The exponent of the cosine used for spotlights. See also the
:py:attr:`exponent` property.
shadow_attenuation : float, optional
The value of shadow attenuation.
By default a light will be completely blocked when in shadow.
By setting this value to less than 1.0 you can control how
much light is attenuated when in shadow. Note that changing
the :py:attr:`attenuation_values` of the light can make it pass
through objects even if its shadow attenuation is 1.
attenuation_values : sequence, optional
Quadratic attenuation constants.
The values are a 3-length sequence which specifies the constant,
linear and quadratic constants in this order. These parameters
only have an effect for positional lights.
Examples
--------
Create a light at (10, 10, 10) and set its diffuse color to red.
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> light = pv.Light(position=(10, 10, 10))
>>> light.diffuse_color = 1.0, 0.0, 0.0
Create a positional light at (0, 0, 3) with a cone angle of
30, exponent of 20, and a visible actor.
>>> light = pv.Light(
... position=(0, 0, 3),
... show_actor=True,

The light is switched to directional (non-positional). The
focal point is set to the origin. The position is defined in

Note that the equivalent :vtk:`vtkLight.SetDirectionAngle` method
uses a surprising coordinate system where the (x', y', z') axes of
the method correspond to the (z, x, y) axes of the renderer.
This method reimplements the functionality in a way that ``elev``
is the conventional elevation and ``azim`` is the conventional azimuth.
In particular:
* ``elev = 0``, ``azim = 0`` is the +x direction
* ``elev = 0``, ``azim = 90`` is the +y direction
* ``elev = 90``, ``azim = 0`` is the +z direction
Parameters
----------
elev : float
The elevation of the directional light.
azim : float
The azimuthal angle of the directional light.
Examples

Create a light that shines on the origin from a 30-degree
elevation in the xz plane.
