Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets or sets an angle that specifies the proportion of a SpotLight's cone-shaped projection in which the light fully illuminates objects in the scene.
public:
property double InnerConeAngle { double get(); void set(double value); };
public double InnerConeAngle { get; set; }
member this.InnerConeAngle : double with get, set
Public Property InnerConeAngle As Double
Property Value
The angle in degrees that specifies the proportion of a SpotLight's cone-shaped projection in which the light fully illuminates objects in the scene. The default value is 180
.
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.
