LightingAngle
is an option for ReliefPlot and related functions that specifies the angle from which simulated illumination is taken to come.
Details

- Angles are measured in radians, counterclockwise from the positive
direction in the final image.
- LightingAngle->{θ,ϕ} takes the effective illumination source to be oriented at angle ϕ out of the image plane.
- LightingAngle->θ is equivalent to LightingAngle->{θ,Pi/4}.
