Description

Sets the specular color for lights. Like fill(), it affects only the elements which are created after it in the code. Specular refers to light which bounces off a surface in a preferred direction (rather than bouncing in all directions like a diffuse light) and is used for creating highlights. The specular quality of a light interacts with the specular material qualities set through the specular() and shininess() functions.

Underlying Processing method: lightSpecular

Syntax

light_specular(v1: float, v2: float, v3: float, /) -> None

Parameters

  • v1: float - red or hue value (depending on current color mode)

  • v2: float - green or saturation value (depending on current color mode)

  • v3: float - blue or brightness value (depending on current color mode)
