Syntax:

Rotate the current view angle degrees about an axis defined between the supplied point {ax,ay,az} and the origin.

Syntax:

Outputs the 3x3 rotation matrix, the camera position vector, and the z-rotation of the camera for the current model's view. The list of numbers may be passed directly to the 'setview' command to re-create the view exactly.

For example:

getview();

Syntax:

Set the view for all models to be an orthographic projection.

For example:

orthographic();

Syntax:

Set the view for all models to be a perspective projection.

For example:

perspective();

Syntax:

Resets the view rotation and zoom for the current model.

For example:

resetview();

Syntax:

Rotates the current view by rotx degrees around the x axis and roty degrees around the y axis.

For example:

rotateview(10.0, 0.0);

Syntax:

Sets the current view to the rotation matrix, camera vector, and (if supplied) camera rotation (''zrot'') specified. The 10-number output of getview can be passed to 'setview' to recreate the old camera rotation and position.

For example:

setview(1, 0, 0 ,0, 0, 1, 0, -1, 0, 0.0, 0.0, -10.0);

sets a view with the z axis pointing up, and the y axis normal to the screen (i.e. rotated 90 degrees around the x axis)

Syntax:

Performs a quick speed test based on rendering of the current model and general view.

For example:

speedtest();

spins the current model for the default of 100 rendering passes.

speedtest(2000);

spins the current model for 2000 rendering passes.

Syntax:

Translates the camera viewing the current model.

For example:

translateview(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

Syntax:

Sets the current view so that it is along the specified vector.

For example:

viewalong(0, 0, -1);

view the current model along the negative z-axis.

Syntax:

Sets the current view so that is along the specified cell vector.

For example:

viewalongcell(1, 0, 0);

view the current model along the cell's x axis.

Syntax:

Zooms the view by the specified amount.

For example:

zoomview(10.0);

moves the camera 10 Å forwards along the z-direction.

zoomview(-5);

moves the camera 5 Å backwards along the z-direction.
