6    without it one sees nothing :)
7    It is here for diffuse-, specular- and Bump-Mappings.

60   A Light is a source that emits light rays (photons)
61
62   <b>Usage:</b>\n
63   First you have to get the Light Manager up and running by using LightManager::getInstance.
64   This automatically initiates the GL_LIGHTING, and sets some default stuff about the light.\n
65   Then you will create a new light using:
66   \li int addLight(void);
67   \li int addLight(int lightNumber);
68
69   now you can operate on the light as follows:
70   \li void setPosition(Vector position);
71   \li void setPosition(GLfloat x, GLfloat y, GLfloat z);
72   \li void setDiffuseColor(GLfloat r, GLfloat g, GLfloat b);
73   \li void setSpecularColor(GLfloat r, GLfloat g, GLfloat b);
74   \li void setAttenuation(float constantAttenuation, float linearAttenuation, float quadraticAttenuation);
75   \li void setSpotDirection(Vector direction);
76   \li void setSpotCutoff(GLfloat cutoff);
77
78   These functions are preatty selv-explaining, but you can read about them below.\n
79   If you want to fetch info, or the a Light use:
80   \li Vector getPosition(void) const;
81   \li Vector getPosition(int lightNumber) const;
82   \li Light* getLight(int LightNumber) const;
83
84   To redraw the light use
85   \li void draw();
86   
87   and to delete one just use
88   \li void deleteLight(void);
89
90   for some nice output just use:
91   \li void debug(void) const;
92
93   You can also operate on the single Lights themselves, by first retreaving them with
94   \li Light* getLight(int LightNumber);
95   \n
96   and then using the same functions on this to change settings.
