azimuth

The azimuth attribute specifies the direction angle for the light source on the XY plane (clockwise), in degrees from the x axis.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

<feDistantLight>

Example

<svg viewBox="0 0 440 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <filter id="distantLight1">
    <feDiffuseLighting>
      <feDistantLight azimuth="0" />
    </feDiffuseLighting>
  </filter>
  <filter id="distantLight2">
    <feDiffuseLighting>
      <feDistantLight azimuth="240" />
    </feDiffuseLighting>
  </filter>

  <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="80" style="filter: url(#distantLight1);" />
  <circle cx="100" cy="100" r="80" style="filter: url(#distantLight2); transform: translateX(240px);" />
