            Ribbon lighting effects must be enabled by setting
            `StreamtraceRodRibbonShade.use_lighting_effect` to `True` when

            Note that setting `StreamtraceRodRibbonShade.use_lighting_effect` will also set
            this value for `ribbon contours <StreamtraceRodRibbonContour>`.

            There are two types of lighting effects: Paneled and Gouraud:

                * `Paneled`: Within each cell, the color assigned to each area by
                    shading or contour flooding is tinted by a shade constant
                    across the cell. This shade is based on the orientation
                    of the cell relative to your 3D light source.
                * `Gouraud`: This offers smoother, more continuous shading than
                    Paneled shading, but it also results in slower plotting
                    and larger print files. `Gouraud` shading is not continuous
                    across zone boundaries unless face neighbors are specified
                    in the data. `Gouraud` shading is not available for finite
                    element volume `Zone <data_access>` when blanking is active.
                    The zone's lighting effect reverts to `Paneled`
                    shading in this case.
