The angle at which the shadow is cast. The valid range of values is from 0 through 360. The value 0 puts the direction immediately to the right of the object. Subsequent values move the direction around the object in a counter-clockwise direction. For example, a value of 90 indicates the shadow is cast directly upward from the object; a value of 180 is cast directly to the left of the object, and so on. The default value is 315.
