Gets or sets an angle that specifies the proportion of a SpotLight's cone-shaped projection outside which the light does not illuminate objects in the scene.

public:
 property double OuterConeAngle { double get(); void set(double value); };

public double OuterConeAngle { get; set; }

member this.OuterConeAngle : double with get, set

Public Property OuterConeAngle As Double

Property Value

Double

The angle in degrees that specifies the proportion of a SpotLight's cone-shaped projection outside which the light does not illuminate objects in the scene. The default value is 90.

Examples

The following example shows how to create a SpotLight in a 3-D scene.

<!-- A SpotLight is used to light the scene. The InnerConeAngle and OuterConeAngle are used
     to control the size of the light cone created by the SpotLight. The Direction and Position
     properties determine where the SpotLight is pointing in the scene. In this example, the Position
     of the SpotLight is set so that the SpotLight is only illuminating the upper right-hand corner
     of the 3D object. -->
<ModelVisual3D>
  <ModelVisual3D.Content>
    <SpotLight x:Name="mySpotLight" InnerConeAngle="20" OuterConeAngle="20" Color="#FFFFFF" Direction="0,0,-1" 
      Position="1,1,6" Range="20"/>
  </ModelVisual3D.Content>
</ModelVisual3D>

Remarks

The intensity of the SpotLight's illumination diminishes from full illumination to none in that angle of the light's projection between the InnerConeAngle and the OuterConeAngle. The light provides no illumination outside the angle specified by this property.
