NAME

DoAmbientIntens − Create an ambient intensity primitive attribute object

SYNOPSIS

C:

DtObject DoAmbientIntens(intensity)
DtReal intensity;

Fortran:

INTEGER∗4 DOAMBI(INTENS)
REAL∗8 INTENS

DESCRIPTION

DoAmbientIntens creates an ambient intensity primitive attribute object.  The intensity parameter is used to specify the intensity of a surface’s ambient response to light from ambient light sources in the environment.  The ambient intensity normally ranges from 0.0 to 1.0 signifying the contribution of ambient component to the overall shade of the object’s surface. 

The ambient intensity is one of three aspects of the ambient component of a surface.  The other two components are the DoDiffuseColor <DODIFC> and the DoAmbientSwitch <DOAMBS>. 

DEFAULTS

The default for DoAmbientIntens is 0.3.
