IDaylightSystem3 Class Reference

#include <IDaylightSystem.h>

Class Description

Extends IDaylightSystem2 with new functionality This interface can only be obtained from an already existent daylight system, from the base object of the daylight assembly:

Object* daylightAssemblyObj = ...
BaseInterface* bi = daylightAssemblyObj->GetInterface(IID_DAYLIGHT_SYSTEM3);
IDaylightSystem3* ds = dynamic_cast<IDaylightSystem3*>(bi);

virtual void GetAltAz ( TimeValue  t, float &  altitude, float &  azimuth  )

pure virtual

Get the alititude and the azimuth angles of the sun at that particular time.

Parameters

[in]	t	The time at which to get the alitude and azimuth of the sun.
[out]	altitude	The angle of the sun above the horizon. In radians, ranges from 0 at the horizon to PI/2 at the zenith.
[out]	azimuth	The angle of the sun about north. In radians, ranges from 0 at due north, PI/2 at due east, etc..
