Properties

spherical - SphericalValue

The direction specified as a spherical value [Clock, Cone, Magnitude], with angles in radians and magnitude in meters. The clock angle is measured in the XY plane from the positive X axis toward the positive Y axis. The cone angle is the angle from the positive Z axis toward the negative Z axis.

unitSpherical - UnitSphericalValue

The direction specified as a unit spherical value [Clock, Cone], in radians. The clock angle is measured in the XY plane from the positive X axis toward the positive Y axis. The cone angle is the angle from the positive Z axis toward the negative Z axis.

cartesian - Cartesian3Value

The direction specified as a three-dimensional Cartesian value [X, Y, Z], in world coordinates in meters.

unitCartesian - UnitCartesian3Value

The direction specified as a three-dimensional unit magnitude Cartesian value [X, Y, Z], in world coordinates in meters.

reference - ReferenceValue

The direction specified as a reference to another property.
