Field Detail

ENERGY_DENSITY

static final java.math.BigDecimal ENERGY_DENSITY

This is the energy provided by a 100% luminosity sun on 1m²

Method Detail

getSun3D

Sun3D getSun3D()

getLuminosity

java.math.BigDecimal getLuminosity()

setLuminosity

void setLuminosity(java.math.BigDecimal luminosity)

getRiseAngle

java.math.BigDecimal getRiseAngle()

Rise angle, in percent.

• 0 means sun is full east, enlighting only along the X axis
• 50 means sun is at its zenith position (neither east nor west). no X direction
• 100 means sun is full west, enlighting only along the reverted X axis

setRiseAngle

void setRiseAngle(java.math.BigDecimal riseAngle)

getZenithAngle

java.math.BigDecimal getZenithAngle()

Zenith angle, in percent.

• 0 means sun is always at the horizon
• 50 means sun is at 45° (Pi/4)
• 100 means sun iis at its zenith position. no Z direction
