#!N The AmbientLight module produces a light that equally illuminates all 
surfaces, regardless of location or direction. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   color #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the color 
of the light either as an RGB vector or as a 
string. If it is a string, it must be one of 
the defined color-name strings (see  #!Lcolor,dxall792 h Color  #!EL  ). #!I0 #!N #!N If 
no value is specified for this parameter, Data Explorer incorporates an 
ambient light of color [0.2 0.2 0.2] (low-intensity white light) to 
the scene. The system also uses a distant light of color 
[1.0 1.0 1.0] (high-intensity white light). (See  #!Llight,dxall884 h Light  #!EL  .) #!N #!N 
If a value is specified, the system removes the default lights. 
Therefore, if you use AmbientLight and want shading, you must also 
add a distant light. In addition, if you desire shading, you 
should use only relatively small amounts of ambient light (a value 
less than about 0.5). Use the Collect module to incorporate the 
resulting light into the scene that is given to the Render, 
Display, or Image tool. #!N #!N Ambient lights have no effect 
on volume-rendered objects. #!N #!N Example Visual Programs #!CForestGreen #!N #!N
