# zFar

The orthogonal plane of the shadow frustum that’s furthest from the spotlight.

## Declaration

```swift
var zFar: SpotLightComponent.Shadow.ShadowClippingPlane { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The zFar is the maximum distance between the light and a visible surface for casting shadows. The spotlight applies the value from attenuationRadius, when you set this property to SpotLightComponent.Shadow.ShadowClippingPlane.automatic, which is its default value. Setting this value to SpotLightComponent.Shadow.ShadowClippingPlane.fixed(_:) is equivalent to assigning it to min(zFar, attenuationRadius).
