## Calculate the specular reflection strength of a surface defined by the
## normal vector elements @var{sx}, @var{sy}, @var{sz} using Phong's
## approximation.
##
## The light source location and viewer location vectors are specified using
## parameters @var{lv} and @var{vv} respectively.  The location vectors can
## given as 2-element vectors [azimuth, elevation] in degrees or as 3-element
## vectors [x, y, z].
##
## An optional sixth argument specifies the specular exponent (spread)
## @var{se}.  If not given, @var{se} defaults to 10.
