RhinoViewport.SetCameraLocation Method

RhinoViewportSetCameraLocation Method

Set viewport camera location. By default the target location is changed so that the vector from the camera location to the target is parallel to the camera direction vector.

Namespace:  Rhino.Display
Assembly:  RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)
Since: 5.0
Syntax
Copy
public void SetCameraLocation(
	Point3d cameraLocation,
	bool updateTargetLocation
)
Public Sub SetCameraLocation ( 
	cameraLocation As Point3d,
	updateTargetLocation As Boolean
)

Parameters

cameraLocation
Type: Rhino.GeometryPoint3d
new camera location.
updateTargetLocation
Type: SystemBoolean
if true, the target location is changed so that the vector from the camera location to the target is parallel to the camera direction vector. If false, the target location is not changed. See the remarks section of RhinoViewport.SetTarget for important details.
