Hi Performers-

  The man page for pfLightSource gives the following piece of sample
code:

          /* Time of day is high noon */
          sun->setPos(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

Since the up direction is +Z (according to the Programmer's Guide page
95), shouldn't this code be as follows:

          /* Time of day is high noon */
          sun->setPos(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

Is this a documentation error or am I misinterpreting something?

thanks,
Chris
