[vtkusers] A Light Emiting Object

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I think creating a vtkLight at the appropriate position and making the cone angle 180 or greater will create the light you are looking for.  Of course, you will have to add any geometry representing the light (e.g. a big yellow ball representing the sun) separately.
