The diffuseConstant attribute represents the kd value in the Phong lighting model. In SVG, this can be any non-negative number.
It's used to determine the final RGB value of a given pixel. The brighter the lighting-color, the smaller this number should be.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
| <number> |
| 1 |
