void setSelfIlluminationMap(Image) •

Image getSelfIlluminationMap() •

ObjectProperty<Image> selfIlluminationMapProperty()
These methods define seven read-write properties for the PhongMaterial class. The diffuseColor and specularColor
are object properties of type Color . The specularPower is a double property. The diffuseMap , specularMap , bumpMap , and
selfIlluminationMap properties are object properties of type Image . Five of the seven properties can be specified in the
third constructor. However, once a PhongMaterial is constructed, its properties can also be altered.
In several of our earlier examples, we have used the one-parameter PhongMaterial constructor, in which we
specify the diffuse color of the 3D shapes. The diffuse color is what we normally think of as the color of an object.
The specular color is the color of the highlights reflected off of shiny surfaces, such as a mirror or another
well-polished surface.
In the program in Listing 10-7, we add a specular color to the material of a sphere.
