View.SunPosition Property
Gets or sets the position of the sun, used in 3D and by some operators.
Thread safety: This property is thread-safe.
Syntax
public SunPosition SunPosition { get; set; }Property Value
Remarks
The direction and elevation angle to the sun can be defined explicitly, or you can use the true sun position at a given time. The default is having the sun in the north, 45 degrees above the horizon.
Important
This property is thread-safe but the SunPosition class is not. If you want to modify the position of the sun in a view without taking the global configuration lock you must create a new SunPosition instance and assign it to this property.
Example
// Set the SunPosition at 2016-01-01 8:00 AM
public static void SetSunPosition(View view)
{
// Create Sun position at 2016-01-01 8:00 AM
SunPosition sunPosition = new SunPosition(2016, 1, 1, 8, 0, 0);
// Set the SunPosition in the View
view.SunPosition = sunPosition;
// Update the View
view.Update();
}
